Class MGF1ParameterSpec

java.lang.Object
  extended by java.security.spec.MGF1ParameterSpec
All Implemented Interfaces:
AlgorithmParameterSpec

public class MGF1ParameterSpec
extends Object
implements AlgorithmParameterSpec

This class specifies the set of parameters used with mask generation function MGF1 in OAEP Padding and RSA-PSS signature scheme, as defined in the PKCS #1 v2.1 standard.

Its ASN.1 definition in PKCS#1 standard is described below:

 MGF1Parameters ::= OAEP-PSSDigestAlgorthms
 
where
 OAEP-PSSDigestAlgorithms    ALGORITHM-IDENTIFIER ::= {
   { OID id-sha1 PARAMETERS NULL   }|
   { OID id-sha256 PARAMETERS NULL }|
   { OID id-sha384 PARAMETERS NULL }|
   { OID id-sha512 PARAMETERS NULL },
   ...  -- Allows for future expansion --
 }
 

Since:
1.5
