SecureRandomSpi

abstract class SecureRandomSpi : Serializable
kotlin.Any
   ↳ java.security.SecureRandomSpi

This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the SecureRandom class.

All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each service provider who wishes to supply the implementation of a cryptographically strong pseudo-random number generator.

Summary

Public constructors

Constructor without a parameter.

Protected constructors

Constructor with a parameter.

Public constructors

SecureRandomSpi

Added in API level 1
SecureRandomSpi()

Constructor without a parameter.

Protected constructors

SecureRandomSpi

Added in API level 1
protected SecureRandomSpi(params: SecureRandomParameters!)

Constructor with a parameter.

Parameters
params SecureRandomParameters!: the SecureRandomParameters object. This argument can be null.
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if params is unrecognizable or unsupported by this SecureRandom

Public methods

toString

Added in API level 1
open fun toString(): String

Returns a Human-readable string representation of this SecureRandom.

Return
String the string representation

Protected methods

engineGenerateSeed

Added in API level 1
protected abstract fun engineGenerateSeed(numBytes: Int): ByteArray!

Returns the given number of seed bytes. This call may be used to seed other random number generators.

Parameters
numBytes Int: the number of seed bytes to generate.
Return
ByteArray! the seed bytes.

engineGetParameters

protected open fun engineGetParameters(): SecureRandomParameters!

Returns the effective SecureRandomParameters for this SecureRandom instance.

Return
SecureRandomParameters! the effective SecureRandomParameters parameters, or null if no parameters were used.

engineNextBytes

Added in API level 1
protected abstract fun engineNextBytes(bytes: ByteArray!): Unit

Generates a user-specified number of random bytes.

Some random number generators can only generate a limited amount of random bytes per invocation. If the size of bytes is greater than this limit, the implementation should invoke its generation process multiple times to completely fill the buffer before returning from this method.

Parameters
bytes ByteArray!: the array to be filled in with random bytes.

engineNextBytes

protected open fun engineNextBytes(
    bytes: ByteArray!,
    params: SecureRandomParameters!
): Unit

Generates a user-specified number of random bytes with additional parameters.

Some random number generators can only generate a limited amount of random bytes per invocation. If the size of bytes is greater than this limit, the implementation should invoke its generation process multiple times to completely fill the buffer before returning from this method.

Parameters
bytes ByteArray!: the array to be filled in with random bytes
params SecureRandomParameters!: additional parameters
Exceptions
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException if the implementation has not overridden this method
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if params is null, illegal or unsupported by this SecureRandom

engineReseed

protected open fun engineReseed(params: SecureRandomParameters!): Unit

Reseeds this random object with entropy input read from its entropy source with additional parameters.

If this method is called by SecureRandom#reseed(), params will be null.

Do not override this method if the implementation does not support reseeding.

Parameters
params SecureRandomParameters!: extra parameters, can be null.
Exceptions
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException if the implementation has not overridden this method
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if params is illegal or unsupported by this SecureRandom

engineSetSeed

Added in API level 1
protected abstract fun engineSetSeed(seed: ByteArray!): Unit

Reseeds this random object with the given seed. The seed supplements, rather than replaces, the existing seed. Thus, repeated calls are guaranteed never to reduce randomness.

Parameters
seed ByteArray!: the seed.
