Java Security, 2nd Edition

Name

Class KeyPairGeneratorSpi

Synopsis

This is the service provider interface class for the key pair generation engine; if you want to implement your own key pair generator, you must extend this class and register your implementation with an appropriate security provider. Instances of this class must be prepared to generate key pairs of a particular strength (or length); they may optionally accept an algorithmic-specific set of initialization values.
