Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`String`	`getJcaName()`	Gets the JCA (Java Cryptography Architecture) name.
`int`	`getOrder()`	Gets the order for an algorithm where a lower order is seen as more preferable than an algorithm with a higher ordering.
`AlgorithmType`	`getType()`	Gets the algorithm type.
`String`	`getUri()`	Gets the URI representation of the algorithm.
`boolean`	`isBlacklisted()`	Tells whether this algorithm is black-listed, i.e., configured to not be allowed.

- Method Detail
  - getUri
```
String getUri()
```
    Gets the URI representation of the algorithm.
    
    Returns:
    
    the URI
  - getType
```
AlgorithmType getType()
```
    Gets the algorithm type.
    
    Returns:
    
    the type
  - getJcaName
```
String getJcaName()
```
    Gets the JCA (Java Cryptography Architecture) name.
    
    Returns:
    
    the JCA name
  - getOrder
```
int getOrder()
```
    Gets the order for an algorithm where a lower order is seen as more preferable than an algorithm with a higher ordering. The ordering is relative to algorithms of the same type, and also other critera such as key or key length material.
    
    Returns:
    
    a positive integer
  - isBlacklisted
```
boolean isBlacklisted()
```
    Tells whether this algorithm is black-listed, i.e., configured to not be allowed.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the algorithm is black-listed and false otherwise
