KeyPairGenerator genKeyPair() method in Java
A key pair can be generated using the genKeyPair() method in the class java.security.KeyPairGenerator. This method requires no parameters and it returns the key pair that is generated.
A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −
Example
import java.security.*; import java.util.*; public class Demo { public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception { try { KeyPairGenerator kpGenerator = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA"); KeyPair keyPair = kpGenerator.genKeyPair(); System.out.println(keyPair); } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) { System.out.println("Error!!! NoSuchAlgorithmException"); } } }
Output
java.security.KeyPair@12a3a380
Now let us understand the above program.
A key pair is generated using the genKeyPair() method and then this key pair is displayed. If the algorithm is wrong, then the exception NoSuchAlgorithmException is thrown. A code snippet that demonstrates is given as follows −
try { KeyPairGenerator kpGenerator = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA"); KeyPair keyPair = kpGenerator.genKeyPair(); System.out.println(keyPair); } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) { System.out.println("Error!!! NoSuchAlgorithmException"); }
