Constructors Summary
Methods Summary
private voidadd(byte[] a, byte[] b, int value)
add value to b, returning the result in a. The a value is treated as a BigInteger of length (a.length * 8) bits. The result is modulo 2^a.length in case of overflow.

        int     x = (b[b.length - 1] & 0xff) + value;

        a[b.length - 1] = (byte)x;
        x >>>= 8;

        for (int i = b.length - 2; i >= 0; i--)
        {
            x += (b[i] & 0xff);
            a[i] = (byte)x;
            x >>>= 8;
        }
public org.bouncycastle.crypto.params.DSAParametersgenerateParameters()
which generates the p and g values from the given parameters, returning the DSAParameters object.

param
certainty measure of robustness of prime (for FIPS 186-2 compliance this should be at least 80).
