Definition

Overloads

GetInstance(String)

Returns a KeyFactory object that converts public/private keys of the specified algorithm.

GetInstance(String, Provider)

Returns a KeyFactory object that converts public/private keys of the specified algorithm.

GetInstance(String, String)

Returns a KeyFactory object that converts public/private keys of the specified algorithm.

GetInstance(String)

Returns a KeyFactory object that converts public/private keys of the specified algorithm.

[Android.Runtime.Register("getInstance", "(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/security/KeyFactory;", "")]
public static Java.Security.KeyFactory? GetInstance (string? algorithm);
[<Android.Runtime.Register("getInstance", "(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/security/KeyFactory;", "")>]
static member GetInstance : string -> Java.Security.KeyFactory

Parameters

algorithm
String

the name of the requested key algorithm.

Returns

the new KeyFactory object

Attributes

Exceptions

if no provider provides the requested algorithm.

Remarks

Returns a KeyFactory object that converts public/private keys of the specified algorithm.

This method traverses the list of registered security Providers, starting with the most preferred Provider. A new KeyFactory object encapsulating the KeyFactorySpi implementation from the first Provider that supports the specified algorithm is returned.

Note that the list of registered providers may be retrieved via the Security#getProviders() Security.getProviders() method.
