Provider Get Method in Java

The value to which a key is mapped can be obtained using the get() method in the class java.security.Provider. This method requires a single parameter i.e. the key whose value is required. It returns the value to which the key is mapped or it returns null if there is no value to which the key is mapped.

A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.security.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] argv) {
      try {
         SecureRandom sRandom = SecureRandom.getInstance("SHA1PRNG");
         Provider p = sRandom.getProvider();
         Set<Object> set = p.keySet();
         Iterator i = set.iterator();
         int x = 30;
         while (x > 0) {
            Object val = p.get(i.next());
            System.out.println(val);
            x--;
         }
      } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
         System.out.println("Error!!! NoSuchAlgorithmException");
      }
   }
}

The output of the above program is as follows −
