  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
Java.Security
Assembly:
Mono.Android.dll

Overloads

Initialize(IAlgorithmParameterSpec)

Initializes the key pair generator using the specified parameter set and the SecureRandom implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness.
Initialize(Int32)

Initializes the key pair generator for a certain keysize using a default parameter set and the SecureRandom implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness.
Initialize(Int32, SecureRandom)

Initializes the key pair generator for a certain keysize with the given source of randomness (and a default parameter set).

Initialize(IAlgorithmParameterSpec)

Initializes the key pair generator using the specified parameter set and the SecureRandom implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness.

[Android.Runtime.Register("initialize", "(Ljava/security/spec/AlgorithmParameterSpec;)V", "GetInitialize_Ljava_security_spec_AlgorithmParameterSpec_Handler")]
public virtual void Initialize (Java.Security.Spec.IAlgorithmParameterSpec? params);
[<Android.Runtime.Register("initialize", "(Ljava/security/spec/AlgorithmParameterSpec;)V", "GetInitialize_Ljava_security_spec_AlgorithmParameterSpec_Handler")>]
override this.Initialize : Java.Security.Spec.IAlgorithmParameterSpec -> unit

Parameters

params
IAlgorithmParameterSpec

the parameter set used to generate the keys.

Attributes
RegisterAttribute

Exceptions

InvalidAlgorithmParameterException

if the specified parameters are not supported

Remarks

Initializes the key pair generator using the specified parameter set and the SecureRandom implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness. (If none of the installed providers supply an implementation of SecureRandom, a system-provided source of randomness is used.)

This concrete method has been added to this previously-defined abstract class. This method calls the KeyPairGeneratorSpi KeyPairGeneratorSpi#initialize( java.security.spec.AlgorithmParameterSpec, java.security.SecureRandom) initialize method, passing it params and a source of randomness (obtained from the highest-priority installed provider or system-provided if none of the installed providers supply one). That initialize method always throws an UnsupportedOperationException if it is not overridden by the provider.

Added in 1.2.

Initialize(Int32)

Initializes the key pair generator for a certain keysize using a default parameter set and the SecureRandom implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness.

[Android.Runtime.Register("initialize", "(I)V", "GetInitialize_IHandler")]
public virtual void Initialize (int keysize);
[<Android.Runtime.Register("initialize", "(I)V", "GetInitialize_IHandler")>]
override this.Initialize : int -> unit

Parameters

keysize
Int32

the keysize. This is an algorithm-specific metric, such as modulus length, specified in number of bits.

Attributes
RegisterAttribute

Remarks

Initializes the key pair generator for a certain keysize using a default parameter set and the SecureRandom implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness. (If none of the installed providers supply an implementation of SecureRandom, a system-provided source of randomness is used.)
