Subject: authentication problem in appletviewer1.1
Hellow,
I experienced a problem with appletviewer.
I am using network to send public to server, and doing authentication
stuff.
when I put the code below in a main, it works, but when I put it in
applets
the appletviewer will hang up at:
keyGen.initialize(512, new SecureRandom());,
would anyone please tell me why?
the code is :
private void sendPublicKey(){
try{
KeyPairGenerator keyGen=KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("DSA");
keyGen.initialize(512, new SecureRandom());
Signature dsa = Signature.getInstance("SHA/DSA");
pair=keyGen.generateKeyPair();
PrivateKey priv = pair.getPrivate();
/* Initializing the object with a private key */
PublicKey pub = pair.getPublic();
PublicKey clientPubkey;
dsa.initSign(priv);
System.out.println(pub);
outputStream.println(pub);
}
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("exception in public and private key");
}
}
