Java Security, 2nd Edition

Name

Class java.security.AlgorithmParameterGenerator

Synopsis

This engine class is used to generate algorithm-specific parameters, which may then be turned into algorithm parameter specifications to be used to initialize other engine classes. In normal usage, those engines can be initialized directly via the same init( ) methods that exist in this class; hence, this class is seldom used.
