public class KeyGenerators
extends Object

Factory for commonly used key generators. Public API for constructing a BytesKeyGenerator or StringKeyGenerator.

Method Summary

static BytesKeyGenerator	secureRandom() Create a BytesKeyGenerator that uses a SecureRandom to generate keys of 8 bytes in length.
static BytesKeyGenerator	secureRandom(int keyLength) Create a BytesKeyGenerator that uses a SecureRandom to generate keys of a custom length.
static BytesKeyGenerator	shared(int keyLength) Create a BytesKeyGenerator that returns a single, shared SecureRandom key of a custom length.
static StringKeyGenerator	string() Creates a StringKeyGenerator that hex-encodes SecureRandom keys of 8 bytes in length.

Method Detail

secureRandom

public static BytesKeyGenerator secureRandom()

Create a BytesKeyGenerator that uses a SecureRandom to generate keys of 8 bytes in length.

secureRandom

public static BytesKeyGenerator secureRandom(int keyLength)

Create a BytesKeyGenerator that uses a SecureRandom to generate keys of a custom length.

Parameters:

keyLength - the key length in bytes, e.g. 16, for a 16 byte key.

shared

public static BytesKeyGenerator shared(int keyLength)

Create a BytesKeyGenerator that returns a single, shared SecureRandom key of a custom length.

Parameters:

keyLength - the key length in bytes, e.g. 16, for a 16 byte key.

string

public static StringKeyGenerator string()

Creates a StringKeyGenerator that hex-encodes SecureRandom keys of 8 bytes in length. The hex-encoded string is keyLength * 2 characters in length.
