Class SecureRandomSpi

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--java.security.SecureRandomSpi

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable

public abstract class SecureRandomSpi
extends Object
implements Serializable

This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the `SecureRandom` class. All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each service provider who wishes to supply the implementation of a cryptographically strong pseudo-random number generator.

Since:
  1.2

Constructor Detail

### SecureRandomSpi

    public SecureRandomSpi()

Method Detail

### engineSetSeed

    protected abstract void engineSetSeed(byte[] seed)

  Reseeds this random object. The given seed supplements, rather than replaces, the existing seed. Thus, repeated calls are guaranteed never to reduce randomness.
  Parameters:
    `seed` - the seed.

### engineNextBytes

    protected abstract void engineNextBytes(byte[] bytes)

  Generates a user-specified number of random bytes.
  Parameters:
    `bytes` - the array to be filled in with random bytes.

### engineGenerateSeed

    protected abstract byte[] engineGenerateSeed(int numBytes)

  Returns the given number of seed bytes. This call may be used to seed other random number generators.
  Parameters:
    `numBytes` - the number of seed bytes to generate.
  Returns:
    the seed bytes.
