public KeyGenerationParameters(java.security.SecureRandom random,
                               int strength)
```
    initialise the generator with a source of randomness and a strength (in bits).
    
    Parameters:
    
    random - the random byte source.
    
    strength - the size, in bits, of the keys we want to produce.

  - getRandom
```
public java.security.SecureRandom getRandom()
```
    return the random source associated with this generator.
    
    Returns:
    
    the generators random source.
  - getStrength
```
public int getStrength()
```
    return the bit strength for keys produced by this generator,
    
    Returns:
    
    the strength of the keys this generator produces (in bits).
