Method Detail

getObject

public SecureRandom getObject()
                       throws Exception

Specified by:

getObject in interface FactoryBean<SecureRandom>

Throws:

Exception

getObjectType

public Class<SecureRandom> getObjectType()

Specified by:

getObjectType in interface FactoryBean<SecureRandom>

isSingleton

public boolean isSingleton()

Specified by:

isSingleton in interface FactoryBean<SecureRandom>

setAlgorithm

public void setAlgorithm(String algorithm)

Allows the Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG) algorithm to be nominated. Defaults to "SHA1PRNG".

Parameters:

algorithm - to use (mandatory)

setSeed

public void setSeed(Resource seed)

Allows the user to specify a resource which will act as a seed for the SecureRandom instance. Specifically, the resource will be read into an InputStream and those bytes presented to the SecureRandom.setSeed(byte[]) method. Note that this will simply supplement, rather than replace, the existing seed. As such, it is always safe to set a seed using this method (it never reduces randomness).

Parameters:

seed - to use, or null if no additional seeding is needed
