  AlgorithmConstraints
  
  
  
| java.security.AlgorithmConstraints | 
This interface specifies constraints for cryptographic algorithms, keys (key sizes), and other algorithm parameters.
 AlgorithmConstraints objects are immutable.  An implementation
 of this interface should not provide methods that can change the state
 of an instance once it has been created.
 
 Note that AlgorithmConstraints can be used to represent the
 restrictions described by the security properties
 jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms and
 jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms, or could be used by a
 concrete PKIXCertPathChecker to check whether a specified
 certificate in the certification path contains the required algorithm
 constraints.

     parameters | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | true if the algorithm is permitted and can be used for all of the specified cryptographic primitives | 
| Throws | |
|---|---|
| IllegalArgumentException | if primitives or algorithm is null or empty | 
permits

| algorithm | String: the algorithm name | 
| key | Key: the key | 
| parameters | AlgorithmParameters: the algorithm parameters, or null if no additional
     parameters | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | true if the key and the algorithm can be used for all of the specified cryptographic primitives | 
| Throws | |
|---|---|
| IllegalArgumentException | if primitives or algorithm is null or empty, or the key is null | 
permits
public abstract boolean permits (Set<CryptoPrimitive> primitives, Key key)
Determines whether a key is granted permission for the specified cryptographic primitives.
This method is usually used to check key size and key usage.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| primitives | Set: a set of cryptographic primitives | 
| key | Key: the key | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | true if the key can be used for all of the specified cryptographic primitives | 
| Throws | |
|---|---|
| IllegalArgumentException | if primitives is null or empty, or the key is null |
