| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
| void | DSAKeyPairGenerator. initialize(DSAParams params,
          SecureRandom random)Initializes the key pair generator using the DSA family parameters
 (p,q and g) and an optional SecureRandom bit source. | 
| void | DSAKeyPairGenerator. initialize(int modlen,
          boolean genParams,
          SecureRandom random)Initializes the key pair generator for a given modulus length
 (instead of parameters), and an optional SecureRandom bit source. |
