Remarks
An interface to an object capable of generating DSA key pairs.
The initialize
methods may each be called any number of times. If no initialize
method is called on a DSAKeyPairGenerator, each provider that implements this interface should supply (and document) a default initialization. Note that defaults may vary across different providers. Additionally, the default value for a provider may change in a future version. Therefore, it is recommended to explicitly initialize the DSAKeyPairGenerator instead of relying on provider-specific defaults.
Users wishing to indicate DSA-specific parameters, and to generate a key pair suitable for use with the DSA algorithm typically
<ol>
<li>Get a key pair generator for the DSA algorithm by calling the KeyPairGenerator getInstance
method with "DSA" as its argument.
<li>Check if the returned key pair generator is an instance of DSAKeyPairGenerator before casting the result to a DSAKeyPairGenerator and calling one of the initialize
methods from this DSAKeyPairGenerator interface.
<li>Generate a key pair by calling the generateKeyPair
method of the KeyPairGenerator class.
</ol>
Note: it is not always necessary to do algorithm-specific initialization for a DSA key pair generator. That is, it is not always necessary to call an initialize
method in this interface. Algorithm-independent initialization using the initialize
method in the KeyPairGenerator interface is all that is needed when you accept defaults for algorithm-specific parameters.
Note: Some earlier implementations of this interface may not support larger values of DSA parameters such as 3072-bit.
