Class ExemptionMechanism


public class ExemptionMechanism
extends Object

An exemption mechanism, which will conditionally allow cryptography where it is not normally allowed, implements things such as key recovery, key weakening, or key escrow.

Implementation note: this class is present for API-compatibility only; it is not actually used anywhere in this library and this library does not, in general, support crypto weakening.

Since:
1.4

getInstance

public static final ExemptionMechanism getInstance(String mechanism)
            throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
Create an instance of ExemptionMechanism for a designated mechanism from the first Security Provider offering it.
Parameters:
mechanism - the name of the exemption mechanism to create.
Returns:
a newly created instance of ExemptionMechanism.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the provider is null.
NoSuchAlgorithmException - if no such exemption mechanism is available from any known Security Provider.
IllegalArgumentException - if mechanism is null or is an empty string.

getInstance

public static final ExemptionMechanism getInstance(String mechanism,
                                                   String provider)
            throws NoSuchAlgorithmException,
                   NoSuchProviderException
Create an instance of ExemptionMechanism for a designated mechanism from a named provider.
Parameters:
mechanism - the name of the exemption mechanism to create.
provider - the security provider to provide the exemption mechanism.
Returns:
a newly created instance of ExemptionMechanism.
Throws:
NoSuchAlgorithmException - if no such exemption mechanism is available from the named provider.
NoSuchProviderException - if no Security Provider with the designated name is known to the underlying JVM.
IllegalArgumentException - if either mechanism or provider is null, or if mechanism is an empty string.

getInstance

public static final ExemptionMechanism getInstance(String mechanism,
                                                   Provider provider)
            throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
Create an instance of ExemptionMechanism for a designated mechanism from a designated provider.
Parameters:
mechanism - the name of the exemption mechanism to create.
provider - the security provider to provide the exemption mechanism.
Returns:
a newly created instance of ExemptionMechanism.
Throws:
NoSuchAlgorithmException - if an exemption mechanism could not be created.
IllegalArgumentException - if either mechanism or provider is null, or if mechanism is an empty string.
