Class DHGenParameterSpec

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    AlgorithmParameterSpec

    public class DHGenParameterSpec
    extends Object
    implements AlgorithmParameterSpec
    This class specifies the set of parameters used for generating Diffie-Hellman (system) parameters for use in Diffie-Hellman key agreement. This is typically done by a central authority.

    The central authority, after computing the parameters, must send this information to the parties looking to agree on a secret key.

    • Constructor Detail

      • DHGenParameterSpec

        public DHGenParameterSpec​(int primeSize,
                                  int exponentSize)
        Constructs a parameter set for the generation of Diffie-Hellman (system) parameters. The constructed parameter set can be used to initialize an AlgorithmParameterGenerator object for the generation of Diffie-Hellman parameters.
        Parameters:
        primeSize - the size (in bits) of the prime modulus.
        exponentSize - the size (in bits) of the random exponent.
