Class Provider

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable, Map<Object,Object>
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    AuthProvider


    public abstract class Provider
    extends Properties
    This class represents a "provider" for the Java Security API, where a provider implements some or all parts of Java Security. Services that a provider may implement include:
    • Algorithms (such as DSA, RSA, MD5 or SHA-1).
    • Key generation, conversion, and management facilities (such as for algorithm-specific keys).

    Each provider has a name and a version number, and is configured in each runtime it is installed in.

    See The Provider Class in the "Java Cryptography Architecture API Specification & Reference" for information about how a particular type of provider, the cryptographic service provider, works and is installed. However, please note that a provider can be used to implement any security service in Java that uses a pluggable architecture with a choice of implementations that fit underneath.

    Some provider implementations may encounter unrecoverable internal errors during their operation, for example a failure to communicate with a security token. A ProviderException should be used to indicate such errors.

    The service type Provider is reserved for use by the security framework. Services of this type cannot be added, removed, or modified by applications. The following attributes are automatically placed in each Provider object:

    Attributes Automatically Placed in a Provider Object
    Name Value
    Provider.id name String.valueOf(provider.getName())
    Provider.id version String.valueOf(provider.getVersion())
    Provider.id info String.valueOf(provider.getInfo())
    Provider.id className provider.getClass().getName()

        Description copied from interface: Map
        Performs the given action for each entry in this map until all entries have been processed or the action throws an exception. Unless otherwise specified by the implementing class, actions are performed in the order of entry set iteration (if an iteration order is specified.) Exceptions thrown by the action are relayed to the caller.
        Specified by:

                                           String algorithm)
        Get the service describing this Provider's implementation of the specified type of this algorithm or alias. If no such implementation exists, this method returns null. If there are two matching services, one added to this provider using putService() and one added via put(), the service added via putService() is returned.
        Parameters:
        type - the type of service requested (for example, MessageDigest)
        algorithm - the case insensitive algorithm name (or alternate alias) of the service requested (for example, SHA-1)
        Returns:

      • putService

        protected void putService(Provider.Service s)
        Add a service. If a service of the same type with the same algorithm name exists and it was added using putService(), it is replaced by the new service. This method also places information about this service in the provider's Hashtable values in the format described in the Java Cryptography Architecture API Specification & Reference .

        Also, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess method is called with the string "putProviderProperty."+name, where name is the provider name, to see if it's ok to set this provider's property values. If the default implementation of checkSecurityAccess is used (that is, that method is not overriden), then this results in a call to the security manager's checkPermission method with a SecurityPermission("putProviderProperty."+name) permission.

        Parameters:
        s - the Service to add
        Throws:
        SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its SecurityManager.checkSecurityAccess(java.lang.String) method denies access to set property values.
        NullPointerException - if s is null
        Since:
        1.5
      • removeService

        protected void removeService(Provider.Service s)
        Remove a service previously added using putService(). The specified service is removed from this provider. It will no longer be returned by getService() and its information will be removed from this provider's Hashtable.

        Also, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess method is called with the string "removeProviderProperty."+name, where name is the provider name, to see if it's ok to remove this provider's properties. If the default implementation of checkSecurityAccess is used (that is, that method is not overriden), then this results in a call to the security manager's checkPermission method with a SecurityPermission("removeProviderProperty."+name) permission.

        Parameters:
        s - the Service to be removed
        Throws:
        SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its SecurityManager.checkSecurityAccess(java.lang.String) method denies access to remove this provider's properties.
        NullPointerException - if s is null
