Method Detail

• getAlgorithmName

  java.lang.String getAlgorithmName()

  Get name of key generator algorithm.

  Returns:

  Name of key generator algorithm.

• hasMandatoryParameters

  boolean hasMandatoryParameters()

  Does the algorithm has mandatory parameters and therefore requires a key generator definition in mapping file?

  Returns:

  true if algorithm has mandatory parameters and therefore requires a key generator definition in mapping file. false if algorithm does not require parameters or has only optional parameters.

• createKeyGenerator

  KeyGenerator createKeyGenerator()
                           throws GeneratorException

  Create a default key generator instance with the algorithm the factory is responsible for. This is only possible for those algorithms that do not require mandatory parameters.

  Returns:

  A default key generator instance with the algorithm the factory is responsible for.

  Throws:

  GeneratorException - If creation of default key generator is not possible due to required mandatory parameters.

• createKeyGenerator

  KeyGenerator createKeyGenerator​(KeyGeneratorDef definition)
                           throws GeneratorException

  Create a key generator instance from the given definition with the algorithm the factory is responsible for.

  Parameters:

  definition - The definition to initialize the key generator.

  Returns:

  A key generator instance initialized with given definition with the algorithm the factory is responsible for.

  Throws:

  GeneratorException - If failed to create a key generator instance.
