  31  * The {@code AlgorithmParameterGenerator} class is used to generate a
  32  * set of
  33  * parameters to be used with a certain algorithm. Parameter generators
  34  * are constructed using the {@code getInstance} factory methods
  35  * (static methods that return instances of a given class).
  36  *
  37  * <P>The object that will generate the parameters can be initialized
  38  * in two different ways: in an algorithm-independent manner, or in an
  39  * algorithm-specific manner:
  40  *
  41  * <ul>
  42  * <li>The algorithm-independent approach uses the fact that all parameter
  43  * generators share the concept of a "size" and a
  44  * source of randomness. The measure of size is universally shared
  45  * by all algorithm parameters, though it is interpreted differently
  46  * for different algorithms. For example, in the case of parameters for
  47  * the <i>DSA</i> algorithm, "size" corresponds to the size
  48  * of the prime modulus (in bits).


 136      * Provider that supports the specified algorithm is returned.
 137      *
 138      * <p> Note that the list of registered providers may be retrieved via
 139      * the {@link Security#getProviders() Security.getProviders()} method.

 143      * {@code jdk.security.provider.preferred}
 144      * {@link Security#getProperty(String) Security} property to determine
 145      * the preferred provider order for the specified algorithm. This
 146      * may be different than the order of providers returned by
 147      * {@link Security#getProviders() Security.getProviders()}.
 148      *
