Good. But the builder will not provide default values so you will see
new DrbgParameters.Builder().build().getAlgorithm() == null which means the getters still return requested values. In this case, the algorithm will only be known after it is used for a specific DRBG, for example, SHA-256 for HashDRBG, and AES-256 for CtrDRBG. --Max > On Dec 15, 2015, at 12:05 AM, Sean Mullan <sean.mul...@oracle.com> wrote: > > The DrbgParameters class has 7 parameters, most of which are optional.
