Java Security

Name

Class javax.crypto.CipherSpi

Synopsis

This class is the Security Provider Interface of the Cipher class. To implement a particular cipher algorithm, create a subclass of this class and register the class with an appropriate security provider. Like all SPI classes, the methods that begin with engine are called by their corresponding method (without engine) from the Cipher class.
