KeyGenerator.GetInstance Method

Definition

Overloads

GetInstance(String)

Returns a KeyGenerator object that generates secret keys for the specified algorithm.

GetInstance(String, Provider)

Returns a KeyGenerator object that generates secret keys for the specified algorithm.

GetInstance(String, String)

Returns a KeyGenerator object that generates secret keys for the specified algorithm.

GetInstance(String)

Returns a KeyGenerator object that generates secret keys for the specified algorithm.

[Android.Runtime.Register("getInstance", "(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljavax/crypto/KeyGenerator;", "")]
public static Javax.Crypto.KeyGenerator? GetInstance (string? algorithm);
[<Android.Runtime.Register("getInstance", "(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljavax/crypto/KeyGenerator;", "")>]
static member GetInstance : string -> Javax.Crypto.KeyGenerator

Parameters

algorithm
String

the standard name of the requested key algorithm. See the KeyGenerator section in the Java Cryptography Architecture Standard Algorithm Name Documentation for information about standard algorithm names.

Returns

the new KeyGenerator object.

Attributes

Exceptions

if the specified algorithm is not available by any provider.

if algorithm is null.

Remarks

Returns a KeyGenerator object that generates secret keys for the specified algorithm.

This method traverses the list of registered security Providers, starting with the most preferred Provider. A new KeyGenerator object encapsulating the KeyGeneratorSpi 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.
