KeyPairCache (JGlobus 2.1.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.globus.gsi.gssapi.KeyPairCache

```
public class KeyPairCache
extends java.lang.Object
```
Simple cache for key pairs. The cache is used to avoid excessive CPU consumption from key pair generation. In particular for purposes of delegation, reusing a key pair is safe.

```
    Returns a key pair of size bits. The same key pair may be returned several times within a period of the cache lifetime. If lifetime was set to zero or less than zero, no keys are cached.
    
    Parameters:
    
    bits - the keysize. This is an algorithm-specific metric, such as modulus length, specified in number of bits.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException - if the algorithm is not available in the environment.
    
    java.security.NoSuchProviderException - if the provider is not available in the environment.
