public class RPKKeyPairGenerator
extends KeyPairGenerator
implements RPKParams
A subclass of java.security.KeyPairGenerator to generate pairs of RPK cryptographic keys for use in secure communication. Each pair consists of a Public Key and a Private Key, which in the RPK system are referred to as E and D respectively.

Methods

o initialize 
 public void initialize(int strength,
                        SecureRandom source)
Initialise the RPK key pair generator.

Parameters:
strength - For the RPK system, this is taken to be the desired granularity property for newly generated keypairs. If the designated value is inadmissible, a default one, defined in RPKParams, will be used.
source - A cryptographically strong source of pseudo random data.
Overrides:
initialize in class KeyPairGenerator

o generateKeyPair

Overrides:
