Methods Summary
protected abstract byte[]	engineGetEncoded() Returns the parameters in their primary encoding format. The primary encoding format for parameters is ASN.1, if an ASN.1 specification for this type of parameters exists. return the parameters encoded using the specified encoding scheme. exception IOException on encoding errors.
protected abstract byte[]	engineGetEncoded(java.lang.String format) Returns the parameters encoded in the specified format. If format is null, the primary encoding format for parameters is used. The primary encoding format is ASN.1, if an ASN.1 specification for these parameters exists. param format the name of the encoding format. return the parameters encoded using the specified encoding scheme. exception IOException on encoding errors.
protected abstract T	engineGetParameterSpec(java.lang.Class paramSpec) Returns a (transparent) specification of this parameters object. paramSpec identifies the specification class in which the parameters should be returned. It could, for example, be DSAParameterSpec.class, to indicate that the parameters should be returned in an instance of the DSAParameterSpec class. param paramSpec the the specification class in which the parameters should be returned. return the parameter specification. exception InvalidParameterSpecException if the requested parameter specification is inappropriate for this parameter object.
protected abstract void	engineInit(java.security.spec.AlgorithmParameterSpec paramSpec) Initializes this parameters object using the parameters specified in paramSpec. param paramSpec the parameter specification. exception InvalidParameterSpecException if the given parameter specification is inappropriate for the initialization of this parameter object.
protected abstract void	engineInit(byte[] params) Imports the specified parameters and decodes them according to the primary decoding format for parameters. The primary decoding format for parameters is ASN.1, if an ASN.1 specification for this type of parameters exists. param params the encoded parameters. exception IOException on decoding errors
protected abstract void	engineInit(byte[] params, java.lang.String format) Imports the parameters from params and decodes them according to the specified decoding format. If format is null, the primary decoding format for parameters is used. The primary decoding format is ASN.1, if an ASN.1 specification for these parameters exists. param params the encoded parameters. param format the name of the decoding format. exception IOException on decoding errors
protected abstract java.lang.String	engineToString() Returns a formatted string describing the parameters. return a formatted string describing the parameters.
