Constructor Detail

SP800SecureRandomBuilder

public SP800SecureRandomBuilder()

Basic constructor, creates a builder using an EntropySourceProvider based on the default SecureRandom with predictionResistant set to false.

Any SecureRandom created from a builder constructed like this will make use of input passed to SecureRandom.setSeed() if the default SecureRandom does for its generateSeed() call.

SP800SecureRandomBuilder

public SP800SecureRandomBuilder(java.security.SecureRandom entropySource,
                        boolean predictionResistant)

Construct a builder with an EntropySourceProvider based on the passed in SecureRandom and the passed in value for prediction resistance.

Any SecureRandom created from a builder constructed like this will make use of input passed to SecureRandom.setSeed() if the passed in SecureRandom does for its generateSeed() call.

Parameters:

entropySource -

predictionResistant -

SP800SecureRandomBuilder

public SP800SecureRandomBuilder(EntropySourceProvider entropySourceProvider)

Create a builder which makes creates the SecureRandom objects from a specified entropy source provider.

Note: If this constructor is used any calls to setSeed() in the resulting SecureRandom will be ignored.

Parameters:

entropySourceProvider - a provider of EntropySource objects.

Method Detail

setPersonalizationString

public SP800SecureRandomBuilder setPersonalizationString(byte[] personalizationString)

Set the personalization string for DRBG SecureRandoms created by this builder

Parameters:

personalizationString - the personalisation string for the underlying DRBG.

Returns:

the current builder.

setSecurityStrength

public SP800SecureRandomBuilder setSecurityStrength(int securityStrength)

Set the security strength required for DRBGs used in building SecureRandom objects.

Parameters:

securityStrength - the security strength (in bits)

Returns:

the current builder.

setEntropyBitsRequired

public SP800SecureRandomBuilder setEntropyBitsRequired(int entropyBitsRequired)

Set the amount of entropy bits required for seeding and reseeding DRBGs used in building SecureRandom objects.

Parameters:

entropyBitsRequired - the number of bits of entropy to be requested from the entropy source on each seed/reseed.

Returns:

the current builder.

buildHash

public SP800SecureRandom buildHash(Digest digest,
                          byte[] nonce,
                          boolean predictionResistant)

Build a SecureRandom based on a SP 800-90A Hash DRBG.

Parameters:
