KeyPairGenerator getProvider() method in Java with Examples

The getProvider() method of java.security.KeyPairGenerator class is used to return the provider of this key pair generator object.

Syntax:

public final Provider getProvider()

Return Value: This method returns the provider of this key pair generator object.

Below are the examples to illustrate the getProvider() method:

Example 1:

// Java program to demonstrate
// getProvider() method

import java.security.*;
import java.util.*;

public class GFG1 {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // creating the object of KeyPairGenerator
            KeyPairGenerator sr = KeyPairGenerator
                                      .getInstance("RSA");

            // getting the Provider of the KeyPairGenerator sr
            // by using method getProvider()
            Provider provider = sr.getProvider();

            // printing the provider name
            System.out.println("Provider name : "
                               + provider.getName());
        }

        catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {

            System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

Provider name : SunRsaSign

Example 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// getProvider() method

import java.security.*;
import java.util.*;

public class GFG1 {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // creating the object of KeyPairGenerator
            KeyPairGenerator sr = KeyPairGenerator
                                      .getInstance("DiffieHellman");

            // getting the Provider of the KeyPairGenerator sr
            // by using method getProvider()
            Provider provider = sr.getProvider();

            // printing the provider name
            System.out.println("Provider name : "
                               + provider.getName());
        }

        catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {

            System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

Provider name : SunJCE
