Interface PbeParameters

All Superinterfaces:

EncryptionParameters

public interface PbeParameters
extends EncryptionParameters

Defines parameters for Password Based Encryption (PBE).

Unless stated otherwise, all no-argument methods need to return consistent objects so that caching them is not required. A returned object is considered to be consistent if it compares equal or at least behaves identical to any previously returned object.
