PgpKeyFactory

public PgpKeyFactory()

Method Detail

makeInstance

public static PgpKeyFactory makeInstance()

Makes a new PgpKeyFactory instance.

Returns:

A new PgpKeyFactory instance.

makeElGamalKeyPair

public abstract PgpKeyPair makeElGamalKeyPair(int size)
                                       throws EngineException

Makes an ElGamal PGP public/private key pair. The size of the key is specified in bits.

Parameters:

size - The size of the encryption key in bits.

Returns:

A fully instantiated ElGamal PGP public/private key pair.

Throws:

EngineException - If there was a problem creating the key pair.

makeElGamalKeyPair

public abstract PgpKeyPair makeElGamalKeyPair(int size,
                                              java.lang.String password)
                                       throws EngineException

Makes an ElGamal PGP public/private key pair with password protection on the private key. The size of the key is specified in bits.

Parameters:

size - The size of the encryption key in bits.

password - The password for private key access. A password that is null or the empty string implies that no private key encryption occurs and that the private key is stored in the clear.

Returns:

A fully instantiated ElGamal PGP public/private key pair.

Throws:

EngineException - If there was a problem creating the key pair.

makeRsaKeyPair

public abstract PgpKeyPair makeRsaKeyPair(int size)
                                   throws EngineException

Makes an RSA PGP public/private key pair. The size of the key is specified in bits.

Parameters:

size - The size of the encryption key in bits.

Returns:

A fully instantiated RSA PGP public/private key pair.

Throws:

EngineException - If there was a problem creating the key pair.

makeRsaKeyPair

public abstract PgpKeyPair makeRsaKeyPair(int size,
                                          java.lang.String password)
                                   throws EngineException

Makes an RSA PGP public/private key pair with password protection on the private key. The size of the key is specified in bits.

Parameters:

size - The size of the encryption key in bits.

password - The password for private key access. A password that is null or the empty string implies that no private key encryption occurs and that the private key is stored in the clear.

Returns:

A fully instantiated RSA PGP public/private key pair.

Throws:

EngineException - If there was a problem creating the key pair.
