    • Method Detail

      • initialize

        void initialize​(DSAParams params,
                        SecureRandom random)
                 throws InvalidParameterException
        Initializes this generator with the prime (p), subprime ( q), and base (g) values from the specified parameters.
        Parameters:
        params - the parameter values.
        random - the source of randomness.
        Throws:
        InvalidParameterException - if the specified parameter values are null or invalid.
      • initialize

        void initialize​(int modlen,
                        boolean genParams,
                        SecureRandom random)
                 throws InvalidParameterException
        Initializes this generator for the specified modulus length. Valid values for the modulus length are the multiples of 8 between 512 and 1024.

        The parameter genParams specifies whether this method should generate new prime (p), subprime (q), and base (g) values or whether it will use the pre-calculated values for the specified modulus length. Default parameters are available for modulus lengths of 512 and 1024 bits.

        Parameters:
        modlen - the length of the modulus in bits.
        genParams - whether new values should be generated.
        random - the source of randomness.
        Throws:
        InvalidParameterException - if the specified modulus length is not valid, or if there are no pre-calculated values and genParams is false.
