public class KeyAgreement extends Object
The keys involved in establishing a shared secret are created by one of the key generators (KeyPairGenerator
or KeyGenerator
), a KeyFactory
, or as a result from an intermediate phase of the key agreement protocol.
For each of the correspondents in the key exchange, doPhase
needs to be called. For example, if this key exchange is with one other party, doPhase
needs to be called once, with the lastPhase
flag set to true
. If this key exchange is with two other parties, doPhase
needs to be called twice, the first time setting the lastPhase
flag to false
, and the second time setting it to true
. There may be any number of parties involved in a key exchange. However, support for key exchanges with more than two parties is implementation specific or as specified by the standard key agreement algorithm.
Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the following standard KeyAgreement
algorithm:

This method resets this KeyAgreement
object to the state that it was in after the most recent call to one of the init
methods. After a call to generateSecret
, the object can be reused for further key agreement operations by calling doPhase
to supply new keys, and then calling generateSecret
to produce a new secret. In this case, the private information and algorithm parameters supplied to init
will be used for multiple key agreement operations. The init
method can be called after generateSecret
to change the private information used in subsequent operations.
