Method Detail- 
engineInitprotected abstract void engineInit(AlgorithmParameterSpec paramSpec) throws InvalidParameterSpecException Initializes this parameters object using the parameters specified inparamSpec.- Parameters:
- paramSpec- the parameter specification.
- Throws:
- InvalidParameterSpecException- if the given parameter specification is inappropriate for the initialization of this parameter object.
 
 - 
engineInitprotected abstract void engineInit(byte[] params) throws IOExceptionImports the specified parameters and decodes them according to the primary decoding format for parameters. The primary decoding format for parameters is ASN.1, if an ASN.1 specification for this type of parameters exists.- Parameters:
- params- the encoded parameters.
- Throws:
- IOException- on decoding errors
 
 - 
engineInitprotected abstract void engineInit(byte[] params, String format) throws IOExceptionImports the parameters fromparamsand decodes them according to the specified decoding format. Ifformatis null, the primary decoding format for parameters is used. The primary decoding format is ASN.1, if an ASN.1 specification for these parameters exists.- Parameters:
- params- the encoded parameters.
- format- the name of the decoding format.
- Throws:
- IOException- on decoding errors
 
 - 
engineGetParameterSpecprotected abstract <T extends AlgorithmParameterSpec> T engineGetParameterSpec(Class<T> paramSpec) throws InvalidParameterSpecException Returns a (transparent) specification of this parameters object.paramSpecidentifies the specification class in which the parameters should be returned. It could, for example, beDSAParameterSpec.class, to indicate that the parameters should be returned in an instance of theDSAParameterSpecclass.- Type Parameters:
- T- the type of the parameter specification to be returned
- Parameters:
- paramSpec- the specification class in which the parameters should be returned.
- Returns:
- the parameter specification.
- Throws:
- InvalidParameterSpecException- if the requested parameter specification is inappropriate for this parameter object.
 
 - 
engineGetEncodedprotected abstract byte[] engineGetEncoded() throws IOExceptionReturns the parameters in their primary encoding format. The primary encoding format for parameters is ASN.1, if an ASN.1 specification for this type of parameters exists.- Returns:
- the parameters encoded using their primary encoding format.
- Throws:
- IOException- on encoding errors.
 
 - 
engineGetEncodedprotected abstract byte[] engineGetEncoded(String format) throws IOException Returns the parameters encoded in the specified format. Ifformatis null, the primary encoding format for parameters is used. The primary encoding format is ASN.1, if an ASN.1 specification for these parameters exists.- Parameters:
- format- the name of the encoding format.
- Returns:
- the parameters encoded using the specified encoding scheme.
- Throws:
- IOException- on encoding errors.
 
 - 
engineToStringprotected abstract String engineToString() Returns a formatted string describing the parameters.- Returns:
- a formatted string describing the parameters.
