package javax.crypto.spec;
import java.math.BigInteger;
import java.security.spec.AlgorithmParameterSpec;
This class specifies the set of parameters used with the Diffie-Hellman
algorithm, as specified in PKCS #3: Diffie-Hellman Key-Agreement
Standard.
A central authority generates parameters and gives them to the two
entities seeking to generate a secret key. The parameters are a prime
p
, a base g
, and optionally the length
in bits of the private value, l
.
It is possible that more than one instance of parameters may be
generated by a given central authority, and that there may be more than
one central authority. Indeed, each individual may be its own central
authority, with different entities having different parameters.
Note that this class does not perform any validation on specified
parameters. Thus, the specified values are returned directly even
if they are null.
