AlgorithmParameters getProvider() method in Java with Examples

The getProvider() method of java.security.AlgorithmParameters class is used to return the provider of this algorithm parameter object.

Syntax:  

public final Provider getProvider()

Return Value: This method returns the provider of this algorithm parameter object.
Below are the examples to illustrate the getProvider() method:
Example 1: For Algorithm DSA 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// getProvider() method
 
import java.security.*;
import java.util.*;
 
public class GFG1 {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // creating the object of
            // AlgorithmParameters
            // and getting instance
            // using getInstance() method
            AlgorithmParameters
                sr
                = AlgorithmParameters
                      .getInstance("DSA");
 
            // generating the Parameters
            // using getProvider() method
            Provider pro = sr.getProvider();
 
            // printing the string algo
            System.out.println("Provider: "
                               + pro);
        }
 
        catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
 
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: "
                               + e);
        }
        catch (ProviderException e) {
 
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: "
                               + e);
        }
    }
}


Output: 

Provider: SUN version 1.8

 

Example 2: For Algorithm DiffieHellman 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// getProvider() method
 
import java.security.*;
import java.util.*;
 
public class GFG1 {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // creating the object of
            // AlgorithmParameters
            // and getting instance
            // using getInstance() method
            AlgorithmParameters
                sr
                = AlgorithmParameters
                      .getInstance("DiffieHellman");
 
            // generating the Parameters
            // using getProvider() method
            Provider pro = sr.getProvider();
 
            // printing the string algo
            System.out.println("Provider: "
                               + pro);
        }
 
        catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
 
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: "
                               + e);
        }
        catch (ProviderException e) {
 
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: "
                               + e);
        }
    }
}


Output: 

Provider: SunJCE version 1.8
