public class KeyAgreement extends Object
This class provides the functionality of a key agreement (or key exchange) protocol.The keys involved in establishing a shared secret are created by one of the key generators (
KeyPairGeneratororKeyGenerator), aKeyFactory, or as a result from an intermediate phase of the key agreement protocol.For each of the correspondents in the key exchange,
doPhaseneeds to be called. For example, if this key exchange is with one other party,doPhaseneeds to be called once, with thelastPhaseflag set totrue. If this key exchange is with two other parties,doPhaseneeds to be called twice, the first time setting thelastPhaseflag tofalse, and the second time setting it totrue. There may be any number of parties involved in a key exchange.Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the following standard

Method Detail

getAlgorithm
public final String getAlgorithm()
Returns the algorithm name of thisKeyAgreementobject.This is the same name that was specified in one of the
getInstancecalls that created thisKeyAgreementobject.- Returns:
- the algorithm name of this
KeyAgreementobject.
-
getInstance
public static final KeyAgreement getInstance(String algorithm) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
Returns aKeyAgreementobject that implements the specified key agreement algorithm.This method traverses the list of registered security Providers, starting with the most preferred Provider. A new KeyAgreement object encapsulating the KeyAgreementSpi implementation from the first Provider that supports the specified algorithm is returned.
Note that the list of registered providers may be retrieved via the
Security.getProviders()method.- Implementation Note:
- The JDK Reference Implementation additionally uses the
jdk.security.provider.preferredSecurityproperty to determine the preferred provider order for the specified algorithm. This may be different than the order of providers returned bySecurity.getProviders(). - Parameters:
algorithm- the standard name of the requested key agreement algorithm. See the KeyAgreement section in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard algorithm names.- Returns:
- the new
KeyAgreementobject - Throws:
NoSuchAlgorithmException- if noProvidersupports aKeyAgreementSpiimplementation for the specified algorithmNullPointerException- ifalgorithmisnull- See Also:
Provider
-
getInstance
public static final KeyAgreement getInstance(String algorithm, String provider) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchProviderException
Returns aKeyAgreementobject that implements the specified key agreement algorithm.A new KeyAgreement object encapsulating the KeyAgreementSpi implementation from the specified provider is returned. The specified provider must be registered in the security provider list.
Note that the list of registered providers may be retrieved via the
Security.getProviders()method.- Parameters:
algorithm- the standard name of the requested key agreement algorithm. See the KeyAgreement section in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard algorithm names.provider- the name of the provider.- Returns:
- the new
KeyAgreementobject - Throws:
IllegalArgumentException- if theproviderisnullor emptyNoSuchAlgorithmException- if aKeyAgreementSpiimplementation for the specified algorithm is not available from the specified providerNoSuchProviderException- if the specified provider is not registered in the security provider listNullPointerException- ifalgorithmisnull- See Also:

getInstance
public static final KeyAgreement getInstance(String algorithm, Provider provider) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
Returns aKeyAgreementobject that implements the specified key agreement algorithm.A new KeyAgreement object encapsulating the KeyAgreementSpi implementation from the specified Provider object is returned. Note that the specified Provider object does not have to be registered in the provider list.
- Parameters:
algorithm- the standard name of the requested key agreement algorithm. See the KeyAgreement section in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard algorithm names.provider- the provider.- Returns:
- the new
KeyAgreementobject - Throws:

getProvider
public final Provider getProvider()
Returns the provider of thisKeyAgreementobject.- Returns:
- the provider of this
KeyAgreementobject

init
public final void init(Key key) throws InvalidKeyException
Initializes this key agreement with the given key, which is required to contain all the algorithm parameters required for this key agreement.If this key agreement requires any random bytes, it will get them using the
SecureRandomimplementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness. (If none of the installed providers supply an implementation of SecureRandom, a system-provided source of randomness will be used.)- Parameters:
key- the party's private information. For example, in the case of the Diffie-Hellman key agreement, this would be the party's own Diffie-Hellman private key.- Throws:
InvalidKeyException- if the given key is inappropriate for this key agreement, e.g., is of the wrong type or has an incompatible algorithm type.
-
init
public final void init(Key key, SecureRandom random) throws InvalidKeyException
Initializes this key agreement with the given key and source of randomness. The given key is required to contain all the algorithm parameters required for this key agreement.If the key agreement algorithm requires random bytes, it gets them from the given source of randomness,
random. However, if the underlying algorithm implementation does not require any random bytes,randomis ignored.- Parameters:
key- the party's private information. For example, in the case of the Diffie-Hellman key agreement, this would be the party's own Diffie-Hellman private key.random- the source of randomness- Throws:
InvalidKeyException- if the given key is inappropriate for this key agreement, e.g., is of the wrong type or has an incompatible algorithm type.
-

SecureRandomimplementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness. (If none of the installed providers supply an implementation of SecureRandom, a system-provided source of randomness will be used.)- Parameters:
key- the party's private information. For example, in the case of the Diffie-Hellman key agreement, this would be the party's own Diffie-Hellman private key.params- the key agreement parameters- Throws:
InvalidKeyException- if the given key is inappropriate for this key agreement, e.g., is of the wrong type or has an incompatible algorithm type.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException- if the given parameters are inappropriate for this key agreement.
