- public class RC4KeyGenerator
- extends KeyGeneratorSpi
This class is used for generating random RC4 keys. This class
should not be instantiated directly, instead use the
javax.crypto.KeyGenerator interface.
There is no AlgorithmParameterSpec class defined for RC4 so this
generator can only be initialised using the keysize,random
initialisation.
The default keysize is 128 bits, and may be any multiple of 8 less
than (or equal to) 256.

engineInit(int strength,
java.security.SecureRandom random)
Initialises this key generator for a certain strength, using the
given source of randomness. |
