Class EcdhStandardKeyAgreement

java.lang.Object

javax.crypto.KeyAgreementSpi

com.entrust.toolkit.security.crypto.ec.EcdhKeyAgreement

com.entrust.toolkit.security.crypto.ec.EcdhStandardKeyAgreement

public class EcdhStandardKeyAgreement
extends EcdhKeyAgreement

A software based implementation of the Standard Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman (ECDH) key agreement algorithm.

This implementation is based on the 'Standard Diffie-Hellman Primitive' defined in ANSI X9.63-2001 Section 5.4.1 (for further details, refer to ANSI X9.63).

An instance of this algorithm can be obtained using the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA), by requesting an 'ECDH' key agreement algorithm from the Entrust cryptographic service provider. This can be done using the following call:

KeyAgreement.getInstance("ECDH", "Entrust");

This class SHOULD NOT be used directly; it should only be used through the JCA/JCE.

FIPS 140-2:

This class is part of the Toolkit's FIPS 140-2 cryptographic module and contains APIs that are considered part of the logical interface to the Toolkit's FIPS 140-2 cryptographic module; refer to the API documentation for further details

Constructor Detail

EcdhStandardKeyAgreement

public EcdhStandardKeyAgreement()

The constructor; creates a new instance of the ECDH key agreement algorithm.

Applications should never use this constructor, instead the key agreement algorithm should be requested from the appropriate JCA/JCE cryptographic service provider as follows: KeyAgreement.getInstance("ECDH", "Entrust").

FIPS 140-2:

FIPS Service: Modify Object

This API is part of the logical interface to the Toolkit's FIPS 140-2 cryptographic module; use of this API causes the caller to assume the FIPS 140-2 user role and accesses the following FIPS 140-2 logical interfaces:

• control input interface (API call)
• status output interface (exceptions)
