AlgorithmParametersSpi

abstract class AlgorithmParametersSpi

kotlin.Any
↳	java.security.AlgorithmParametersSpi

This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the AlgorithmParameters class, which is used to manage algorithm parameters.

All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each cryptographic service provider who wishes to supply parameter management for a particular algorithm.

Summary

Public constructors
`AlgorithmParametersSpi()`

Protected methods
abstract ByteArray!	`engineGetEncoded()` Returns the parameters in their primary encoding format.
abstract ByteArray!	`engineGetEncoded(format: String!)` Returns the parameters encoded in the specified format.
abstract T	`engineGetParameterSpec(paramSpec: Class<T>!)` Returns a (transparent) specification of this parameters object.
abstract Unit	`engineInit(params: ByteArray!)` Imports the specified parameters and decodes them according to the primary decoding format for parameters.
abstract Unit	`engineInit(params: ByteArray!, format: String!)` Imports the parameters from `params` and decodes them according to the specified decoding format.
abstract Unit	`engineInit(paramSpec: AlgorithmParameterSpec!)` Initializes this parameters object using the parameters specified in `paramSpec`.
abstract String!	`engineToString()` Returns a formatted string describing the parameters.

AlgorithmParametersSpi()

Protected methods

engineGetEncoded

Added in API level 1

protected abstract fun engineGetEncoded(): ByteArray!

Returns the parameters in their primary encoding format. The primary encoding format for parameters is ASN.1, if an ASN.1 specification for this type of parameters exists.

Return
`ByteArray!`	the parameters encoded using their primary encoding format.

Exceptions
`java.io.IOException`	on encoding errors.

engineGetEncoded

Added in API level 1

protected abstract fun engineGetEncoded(format: String!): ByteArray!

Returns the parameters encoded in the specified format. If format is null, the primary encoding format for parameters is used. The primary encoding format is ASN.1, if an ASN.1 specification for these parameters exists.

Parameters
`format`	String!: the name of the encoding format.

Return
`ByteArray!`	the parameters encoded using the specified encoding scheme.

Exceptions
`java.io.IOException`	on encoding errors.

engineGetParameterSpec

Added in API level 1

protected abstract fun <T : AlgorithmParameterSpec!> engineGetParameterSpec(paramSpec: Class<T>!): T

Returns a (transparent) specification of this parameters object. paramSpec identifies the specification class in which the parameters should be returned. It could, for example, be DSAParameterSpec.class, to indicate that the parameters should be returned in an instance of the DSAParameterSpec class.

Parameters
`<T>`	the type of the parameter specification to be returned
`paramSpec`	Class<T>!: the specification class in which the parameters should be returned.

Return
`T`	the parameter specification.

Exceptions
`java.security.spec.InvalidParameterSpecException`	if the requested parameter specification is inappropriate for this parameter object.

engineInit

Added in API level 1

protected abstract fun engineInit(params: ByteArray!): Unit

Imports the specified parameters and decodes them according to the primary decoding format for parameters. The primary decoding format for parameters is ASN.1, if an ASN.1 specification for this type of parameters exists.

Parameters
`params`	ByteArray!: the encoded parameters.

Exceptions
`java.io.IOException`	on decoding errors

engineInit

Added in API level 1

protected abstract fun engineInit(
    params: ByteArray!, 
    format: String!
): Unit

Imports the parameters from params and decodes them according to the specified decoding format. If format is null, the primary decoding format for parameters is used. The primary decoding format is ASN.1, if an ASN.1 specification for these parameters exists.

Parameters
`params`	ByteArray!: the encoded parameters.
`format`	String!: the name of the decoding format.

Exceptions
`java.io.IOException`	on decoding errors

engineInit

Added in API level 1

protected abstract fun engineInit(paramSpec: AlgorithmParameterSpec!): Unit

Initializes this parameters object using the parameters specified in paramSpec.

Parameters
`paramSpec`	AlgorithmParameterSpec!: the parameter specification.

Exceptions
`java.security.spec.InvalidParameterSpecException`	if the given parameter specification is inappropriate for the initialization of this parameter object.

engineToString

Added in API level 1

protected abstract fun engineToString(): String!

Returns a formatted string describing the parameters.

Return
`String!`	a formatted string describing the parameters.
