      • getProvider

        public java.security.Provider getProvider()
        Gets the JCA provider to be used for all operations.
        Returns:
        The JCA provider to be used for all operations where a more specific one is absent, null implies the default system provider.

        Sets the JCA provider to be used for all operations.
        Parameters:
        provider - The JCA provider to be used for all operations where a more specific one is absent, null to use the default system provider.

      • getSecureRandom

        public java.security.SecureRandom getSecureRandom()
        Gets the secure random generator. Intended for generation of initialisation vectors and other purposes that require a secure random generator.
        Returns:
        The specific secure random generator (if available), else the default system one.

      • setSecureRandom

        public void setSecureRandom​(java.security.SecureRandom randomGen)
        Sets a specific secure random generator for the initialisation vector and other purposes requiring a random number.
        Parameters:
        randomGen - The secure random generator, null to use the default system one.
