What are the different types of instances for KeyFactory?

Question

When using KeyFactory kg = KeyFactory.getInstance(ALGORITHM) what are the different algorithms that could be used? I know there is "DSA", "RSA" but which other are supported?

Solution

You can get the list of supported algorithms for KeyFactory here. You can get a list algorithms supported by other security related classes here

• DiffieHellman : Keys for the Diffie-Hellman KeyAgreement algorithm. Note: key.getAlgorithm() will return "DH" instead of "DiffieHellman".
• DSA: Keys for the Digital Signature Algorithm.
• RSA: Keys for the RSA algorithm (Signature/Cipher).
• EC
