- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
SecureRandom
class.
All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each service provider who wishes to supply the implementation of a cryptographically strong pseudo-random number generator.
- Implementation Requirements:
- If the
SecureRandomSpi(SecureRandomParameters)
constructor is overridden in an implementation, it will always be called whenever aSecureRandom
is instantiated. Precisely, if an object is instantiated with one ofSecureRandom
'sgetInstance
methods without aSecureRandomParameters
parameter, the constructor will be called with anull
argument and the implementation is responsible for creating its ownSecureRandomParameters
parameter for use whenengineGetParameters()
is called. If an object is instantiated with one ofSecureRandom
'sgetInstance
methods with aSecureRandomParameters
argument, the constructor will be called with that argument. TheengineGetParameters()
method must not returnnull
.Otherwise, if the
SecureRandomSpi(SecureRandomParameters)
constructor is not overridden in an implementation, theSecureRandomSpi()
constructor must be overridden, and it will be called if an object is instantiated with one ofSecureRandom
'sgetInstance
methods without aSecureRandomParameters
argument. Calling one ofSecureRandom
'sgetInstance
methods with aSecureRandomParameters
argument will never return an instance of this implementation. TheengineGetParameters()
method must returnnull
.See
SecureRandom
for additional details on thread safety. By default, aSecureRandomSpi
implementation is considered to be not safe for use by multiple concurrent threads andSecureRandom
will synchronize access to each of the applicable engine methods (seeSecureRandom
for the list of methods). However, if aSecureRandomSpi
implementation is thread-safe, the service provider attribute "ThreadSafe" should be set to "true" during its registration, as follows:
orput("SecureRandom.AlgName ThreadSafe", "true");
putService(new Service(this, "SecureRandom", "AlgName", className, null, Map.of("ThreadSafe", "true")));
SecureRandom
will call the applicable engine methods without any synchronization. - Since:

Method Details
-
engineSetSeed
protected abstract void engineSetSeed(byte[] seed) Reseeds this random object with the given seed. The seed supplements, rather than replaces, the existing seed. Thus, repeated calls are guaranteed never to reduce randomness.- Parameters:
seed
- the seed.
-
engineNextBytes
protected abstract void engineNextBytes(byte[] bytes) Generates a user-specified number of random bytes.Some random number generators can only generate a limited amount of random bytes per invocation. If the size of
bytes
is greater than this limit, the implementation should invoke its generation process multiple times to completely fill the buffer before returning from this method.- Parameters:
bytes
- the array to be filled in with random bytes.
-
engineNextBytes
Generates a user-specified number of random bytes with additional parameters.Some random number generators can only generate a limited amount of random bytes per invocation. If the size of
bytes
is greater than this limit, the implementation should invoke its generation process multiple times to completely fill the buffer before returning from this method.- Implementation Requirements:
- The default implementation throws
an
UnsupportedOperationException
. - Parameters:
bytes
- the array to be filled in with random bytesparams
- additional parameters- Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException
- if the implementation has not overridden this methodIllegalArgumentException
- ifparams
isnull
, illegal or unsupported by thisSecureRandom
- Since:
- 9
-
engineGenerateSeed
protected abstract byte[] engineGenerateSeed(int numBytes) Returns the given number of seed bytes. This call may be used to seed other random number generators.- Parameters:
numBytes
- the number of seed bytes to generate.- Returns:
- the seed bytes.
-
engineReseed
Reseeds this random object with entropy input read from its entropy source with additional parameters.If this method is called by
SecureRandom.reseed()
,params
will benull
.Do not override this method if the implementation does not support reseeding.
- Implementation Requirements:
- The default implementation throws
an
UnsupportedOperationException
. - Parameters:

- extra parameters, can benull

engineGetParameters
Returns the effectiveSecureRandomParameters
for thisSecureRandom
instance.- Implementation Requirements:
- The default implementation returns
null
. - Returns:
- the effective
SecureRandomParameters
parameters, ornull
