public abstract class ExemptionMechanismSpi
extends java.lang.Object

This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the `ExemptionMechanism` class. All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each cryptographic service provider who wishes to supply the implementation of a particular exemption mechanism.

Since:
  1.4

Constructor Summary
`ExemptionMechanismSpi()`

Method Summary
`protected abstract byte[]` `engineGenExemptionBlob()` Generates the exemption mechanism key blob.
`protected abstract int` `engineGenExemptionBlob(byte[] output, int outputOffset)` Generates the exemption mechanism key blob, and stores the result in the output buffer, starting at outputOffset inclusive.
`protected abstract int` `engineGetOutputSize(int inputLen)` Returns the length in bytes that an output buffer would need to be in order to hold the result of the next `engineGenExemptionBlob()` operation, given the input length inputLen (in bytes).
`protected abstract void` `engineInit(java.security.Key key)` Initializes this exemption mechanism with a key.
`protected abstract void` `engineInit(java.security.Key key, java.security.AlgorithmParameters params)` Initializes this exemption mechanism with a key and a set of algorithm parameters.
`protected abstract void` `engineInit(java.security.Key key, java.security.spec.AlgorithmParameterSpec params)` Initializes this exemption mechanism with a key and a set of algorithm parameters.

Constructor Detail

### ExemptionMechanismSpi

    public ExemptionMechanismSpi()

Method Detail

### engineGetOutputSize

    protected abstract int engineGetOutputSize(int inputLen)

  Returns the length in bytes that an output buffer would need to be in order to hold the result of the next `engineGenExemptionBlob()` operation, given the input length inputLen (in bytes).

  The actual output length of the next `engineGenExemptionBlob()` call may be smaller than the length returned by this method.

  Parameters:
    `inputLen` - the input length (in bytes)
  Returns:
    the required output buffer size (in bytes)

### engineInit

    protected abstract void engineInit(java.security.Key key)
                                throws java.security.InvalidKeyException,
                                       ExemptionMechanismException

  Initializes this exemption mechanism with a key.

  If this exemption mechanism requires any algorithm parameters that cannot be derived from the given key, the underlying exemption mechanism implementation is supposed to generate the required parameters itself (using provider-specific default values); in the case that algorithm parameters must be specified by the caller, an `InvalidKeyException` is raised.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key for this exemption mechanism
  Throws:
    `java.security.InvalidKeyException` - if the given key is inappropriate for this exemption mechanism.
    `ExemptionMechanismException` - if problem(s) encountered in the process of initializing.

### engineInit

    protected abstract void engineInit(java.security.Key key,
                                       java.security.spec.AlgorithmParameterSpec params)
                                throws java.security.InvalidKeyException,
                                       java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException,
                                       ExemptionMechanismException

  Initializes this exemption mechanism with a key and a set of algorithm parameters.

  If this exemption mechanism requires any algorithm parameters and params is null, the underlying exemption mechanism implementation is supposed to generate the required parameters itself (using provider- specific default values); in the case that algorithm parameters must be specified by the caller, an `InvalidAlgorithmParameterException` is raised.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key for this exemption mechanism.
    `params` - the algorithm parameters.
  Throws:
    `java.security.InvalidKeyException` - if the given key is inappropriate for this exemption mechanism.
    `java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException` - if the given algorithm parameters are inappropriate for this exemption mechanism.
    `ExemptionMechanismException` - if problem(s) encountered in the process of initializing.

### engineInit

    protected abstract void engineInit(java.security.Key key,
                                       java.security.AlgorithmParameters params)
                                throws java.security.InvalidKeyException,
                                       java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException,
                                       ExemptionMechanismException

  Initializes this exemption mechanism with a key and a set of algorithm parameters.

  If this exemption mechanism requires any algorithm parameters and params is null, the underlying exemption mechanism implementation is supposed to generate the required parameters itself (using provider- specific default values); in the case that algorithm parameters must be specified by the caller, an `InvalidAlgorithmParameterException` is raised.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key for this exemption mechanism.
    `params` - the algorithm parameters
  Throws:
    `java.security.InvalidKeyException` - if the given key is inappropriate for this exemption mechanism.
    `java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException` - if the given algorithm parameters are inappropriate for this exemption mechanism.
    `ExemptionMechanismException` - if problem(s) encountered in the process of initializing.

### engineGenExemptionBlob

    protected abstract byte[] engineGenExemptionBlob()
                                              throws ExemptionMechanismException

  Generates the exemption mechanism key blob.

  Returns:
    the new buffer with the result key blob.
  Throws:
    `ExemptionMechanismException` - if problem(s) encountered in the process of generating.

### engineGenExemptionBlob

    protected abstract int engineGenExemptionBlob(byte[] output,
                                                  int outputOffset)
                                           throws ShortBufferException,
                                                  ExemptionMechanismException

  Generates the exemption mechanism key blob, and stores the result in the output buffer, starting at outputOffset inclusive.

  If the output buffer is too small to hold the result, a `ShortBufferException` is thrown. In this case, repeat this call with a larger output buffer. Use `engineGetOutputSize()` to determine how big the output buffer should be.

  Parameters:
    `output` - the buffer for the result.
    `outputOffset` - the offset in output where the result is stored.
  Returns:
    the number of bytes stored in output
  Throws:
    `ShortBufferException` - if the given output buffer is too small to hold the result.
    `ExemptionMechanismException` - if problem(s) encountered in the process of generating.
