Initializes this factory with a source of key material.

Throws:
See Also:
/** * Initializes this factory with a source of key material. * * @param ks the key store or null * @param password the password for recovering keys * @throws KeyStoreException if this operation fails * @throws NoSuchAlgorithmException if the specified algorithm is not * available from the specified provider. * @throws UnrecoverableKeyException if the key cannot be recovered * @see KeyManagerFactory#init(KeyStore, char[]) */
protected abstract void engineInit(KeyStore ks, char[] password) throws KeyStoreException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, UnrecoverableKeyException;
Initializes this factory with a source of key material.

In some cases, initialization parameters other than a keystore and password may be needed by a provider. Users of that particular provider are expected to pass an implementation of the appropriate ManagerFactoryParameters as defined by the provider. The provider can then call the specified methods in the ManagerFactoryParameters implementation to obtain the needed information.

Params:
  • spec – an implementation of a provider-specific parameter specification
Throws:
See Also:

Returns one key manager for each type of key material.
Throws:
