Java Security, 2nd Edition

Name

Class javax.crypto.KeyGeneratorSpi

Synopsis

This is the service provider interface for the KeyGenerator class. To create an implementation of a key generation algorithm, make a subclass of this class and register the implementation with an appropriate security provider. Because it is a JCE engine, it must be deployed in a specially signed jar file.
