IDSAKeyPairGenerator.Initialize Method

Definition

Namespace:

Java.Security.Interfaces

Assembly:

Mono.Android.dll

Overloads

Initialize(IDSAParams, SecureRandom)	Initializes the key pair generator using the DSA family parameters (p,q and g) and an optional SecureRandom bit source.
Initialize(Int32, Boolean, SecureRandom)	Initializes the key pair generator for a given modulus length (instead of parameters), and an optional SecureRandom bit source.

Initialize(IDSAParams, SecureRandom)

Initializes the key pair generator using the DSA family parameters (p,q and g) and an optional SecureRandom bit source.

[Android.Runtime.Register("initialize", "(Ljava/security/interfaces/DSAParams;Ljava/security/SecureRandom;)V", "GetInitialize_Ljava_security_interfaces_DSAParams_Ljava_security_SecureRandom_Handler:Java.Security.Interfaces.IDSAKeyPairGeneratorInvoker, Mono.Android, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null")]
public void Initialize (Java.Security.Interfaces.IDSAParams? params, Java.Security.SecureRandom? random);

abstract member Initialize : Java.Security.Interfaces.IDSAParams * Java.Security.SecureRandom -> unit

Parameters

params

IDSAParams

the parameters to use to generate the keys.

random

SecureRandom

the random bit source to use to generate key bits; can be null.

Attributes

RegisterAttribute

Exceptions

InvalidParameterException

if the specified parameter values are null or invalid.

Remarks

Initializes the key pair generator using the DSA family parameters (p,q and g) and an optional SecureRandom bit source. If a SecureRandom bit source is needed but not supplied, i.e. null, a default SecureRandom instance will be used.

Initialize(Int32, Boolean, SecureRandom)

Initializes the key pair generator for a given modulus length (instead of parameters), and an optional SecureRandom bit source.

[Android.Runtime.Register("initialize", "(IZLjava/security/SecureRandom;)V", "GetInitialize_IZLjava_security_SecureRandom_Handler:Java.Security.Interfaces.IDSAKeyPairGeneratorInvoker, Mono.Android, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null")]
public void Initialize (int modlen, bool genParams, Java.Security.SecureRandom? random);

abstract member Initialize : int * bool * Java.Security.SecureRandom -> unit

Parameters

modlen

Int32

the modulus length in bits. Valid values are any multiple of 64 between 512 and 1024, inclusive, 2048, and 3072.

genParams

Boolean

whether or not to generate new parameters for the modulus length requested.

random

SecureRandom

the random bit source to use to generate key bits; can be null.

Attributes

RegisterAttribute

Exceptions

InvalidParameterException

if the specified modulus length is not valid, or if there are no pre-calculated values and genParams is false.

Remarks

Initializes the key pair generator for a given modulus length (instead of parameters), and an optional SecureRandom bit source. If a SecureRandom bit source is needed but not supplied, i.e. null, a default SecureRandom instance will be used.

If genParams is true, this method generates new p, q and g parameters. If it is false, the method uses precomputed parameters for the modulus length requested. If there are no precomputed parameters for that modulus length, an exception will be thrown.
