MGF1ParameterSpec

public class MGF1ParameterSpec extends Object implements AlgorithmParameterSpec
This class specifies the set of parameters used with mask generation function MGF1 in OAEP Padding and RSA-PSS signature scheme, as defined in the PKCS #1 v2.1 standard.

Its ASN.1 definition in PKCS#1 standard is described below: 

MGF1Parameters ::= OAEP-PSSDigestAlgorthms
where 
OAEP-PSSDigestAlgorithms ALGORITHM-IDENTIFIER ::= {
{ OID id-sha1 PARAMETERS NULL }|
{ OID id-sha256 PARAMETERS NULL }|
{ OID id-sha384 PARAMETERS NULL }|
{ OID id-sha512 PARAMETERS NULL },
... -- Allows for future expansion --
}

Constructors Summary
public MGF1ParameterSpec(String mdName)
Constructs a parameter set for mask generation function MGF1 as defined in the PKCS #1 standard.

param
mdName the algorithm name for the message digest used in this mask generation function MGF1.
exception
NullPointerException if mdName is null.


                                                
       
	if (mdName == null) {
	    throw new NullPointerException("digest algorithm is null");
	}
	this.mdName = mdName;
Methods Summary
public java.lang.StringgetDigestAlgorithm()
Returns the algorithm name of the message digest used by the mask generation function.

return
the algorithm name of the message digest.

        return mdName;
