The getProvider() method of java.security.SecureRandom class is used to return the provider of this SecureRandom object.
Syntax:
public final Provider getProvider()
Return Value: This method returns the provider of this SecureRandom 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 SecureRandom
SecureRandom sr = SecureRandom.getInstance( "SHA1PRNG" );
// getting the Provider of the SecureRandom 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 : SUN
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 SecureRandom
SecureRandom srand = new SecureRandom( new byte [] { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 });
// getting the Provider of the SecureRandom sr
// by using method getProvider()
Provider provider = srand.getProvider();
// printing the provider name
System.out.println( "Provider name : " + provider.getName());
}
catch (ProviderException e) {
System.out.println( "Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
} |
Output:
Provider name : SUN
