Method Detail

createEncryptionAlgorithm

public abstract EncryptionAlgorithm createEncryptionAlgorithm(URI algorithmURI)
                                                       throws EncryptionAlgorithmException

Creates the encryption algorithm specified by the provided algorithm URI.

Parameters:

algorithmURI - a URI used to specify the desired EncryptionAlgorithm.

Returns:

an instance of the EncryptionAlgorithm implementation class associated with the given URI.

Throws:

EncryptionAlgorithmException - if creating the EncryptionAlgorithm instance fails.

createFactory

public static EncryptionAlgorithmFactory createFactory()
                                                throws EncryptionAlgorithmException

Creates an instance of the EncyptionAlgorithmFactory implementation class, which is specified by the XMLE property named EncyptionAlgorithmFactory.ImplementingClass.

Returns:

an instance of the designated EncyptionAlgorithmFactory implementation class.

Throws:

EncryptionAlgorithmException - if the implementation class cannot be instantiated.
