Class DHParameterSpec

Implemented Interfaces:
AlgorithmParameterSpec

public class DHParameterSpec
extends Object
implements AlgorithmParameterSpec

The base set of parameters necessary to perform Diffie-Hellman key exchange. Each party in the key exchange shares these parameters.

Each set of parameters consists of a base generator g, a prime modulus p, and an optional length, in bits, of the private exponent.

See PKCS #3 - Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Standard for more information.
