public class KeyGenerator extends Object
This class provides the functionality of a secret (symmetric) key generator.Key generators are constructed using one of the
getInstance
class methods of this class.KeyGenerator objects are reusable, i.e., after a key has been generated, the same KeyGenerator object can be re-used to generate further keys.
There are two ways to generate a key: in an algorithm-independent manner, and in an algorithm-specific manner. The only difference between the two is the initialization of the object:
- Algorithm-Independent Initialization
All key generators share the concepts of a keysize and a source of randomness. There is an
init
method in this KeyGenerator class that takes these two universally shared types of arguments. There is also one that takes just akeysize
argument, and uses the SecureRandom implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness (or a system-provided source of randomness if none of the installed providers supply a SecureRandom implementation), and one that takes just a source of randomness.Since no other parameters are specified when you call the above algorithm-independent
init
methods, it is up to the provider what to do about the algorithm-specific parameters (if any) to be associated with each of the keys. - Algorithm-Specific Initialization
For situations where a set of algorithm-specific parameters already exists, there are two
init
methods that have anAlgorithmParameterSpec
argument. One also has aSecureRandom
argument, while the other uses the SecureRandom implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness (or a system-provided source of randomness if none of the installed providers supply a SecureRandom implementation).
In case the client does not explicitly initialize the KeyGenerator (via a call to an
init
method), each provider must supply (and document) a default initialization.Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the following standard
KeyGenerator
algorithms with the keysizes in parentheses:- AES (128)
- DES (56)
- DESede (168)
- HmacSHA1
- HmacSHA256

getAlgorithm
public final String getAlgorithm()
Returns the algorithm name of thisKeyGenerator
object.This is the same name that was specified in one of the
getInstance
calls that created thisKeyGenerator
object.- Returns:
- the algorithm name of this
KeyGenerator
object.
-
getInstance
public static final KeyGenerator getInstance(String algorithm) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
Returns aKeyGenerator
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()
method.- Parameters:
algorithm
- 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. - Throws:
NullPointerException
- if the specified algorithm is null.NoSuchAlgorithmException
- if no Provider supports a KeyGeneratorSpi implementation for the specified algorithm.- See Also:

getInstance
public static final KeyGenerator getInstance(String algorithm, String provider) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchProviderException
Returns aKeyGenerator
object that generates secret keys for the specified algorithm.A new KeyGenerator object encapsulating the KeyGeneratorSpi implementation from the specified provider is returned. The specified provider must be registered in the security provider list.
Note that the list of registered providers may be retrieved via the
Security.getProviders()
method.- Parameters:
algorithm
- 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.provider
- the name of the provider.- Returns:
- the new
KeyGenerator
object. - Throws:
NullPointerException
- if the specified algorithm is null.NoSuchAlgorithmException
- if a KeyGeneratorSpi implementation for the specified algorithm is not available from the specified provider.NoSuchProviderException
- if the specified provider is not registered in the security provider list.IllegalArgumentException
- if theprovider
is null or empty.- See Also:
