The getAlgorithm() method of java.security.KeyFactory class is used to gets the name of the algorithm associated with this KeyFactory.
Syntax:
public final String getAlgorithm()
Return Value: This method returns the name of the algorithm associated with this KeyFactory.
Below are the examples to illustrate the getAlgorithm() method.
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// getAlgorithm() methodimport java.security.*;import java.util.*;import java.security.spec.*;public class GFG1 { public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception { try { // creating object of keyfactory KeyFactory keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("DSA"); // getting the algorithm of KeyFactory // using getAlgorithm() method String algo = keyFactory.getAlgorithm(); // printing the algorithm System.out.println("Algorithm : " + algo); } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } catch (ProviderException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } }} |
Output
Algorithm : DSA
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// getAlgorithm() methodimport java.security.*;import java.util.*;import java.security.spec.*;public class GFG1 { public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception { try { // creating object of keyfactory KeyFactory keyFactory = KeyFactory .getInstance("DiffieHellman"); // getting the algorithm of KeyFactory // using getAlgorithm() method String algo = keyFactory.getAlgorithm(); // printing the algorithm System.out.println("Algorithm : " + algo); } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } catch (ProviderException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } }} |
Output
Algorithm : DiffieHellman
