Method Detail

extractParameters

public static ASN1Encodable extractParameters(AlgorithmParameters params)
                                       throws IOException

Extract an ASN.1 encodable from an AlgorithmParameters object.

Parameters:

params - the object to get the encoding used to create the return value.

Returns:

an ASN.1 object representing the primitives making up the params parameter.

Throws:

IOException - if an encoding cannot be extracted.

loadParameters

public static void loadParameters(AlgorithmParameters params,
                                  ASN1Encodable sParams)
                           throws IOException

Load an AlgorithmParameters object with the passed in ASN.1 encodable - if possible.

Parameters:

params - the AlgorithmParameters object to be initialised.

sParams - the ASN.1 encodable to initialise params with.

Throws:

IOException - if the parameters cannot be initialised.
