## org.bouncycastle.crypto
Class PBEParametersGenerator

    java.lang.Object
      org.bouncycastle.crypto.PBEParametersGenerator

Direct Known Subclasses:
  PKCS12ParametersGenerator, PKCS5S1ParametersGenerator, PKCS5S2ParametersGenerator

public abstract class PBEParametersGenerator
extends java.lang.Object

super class for all Password Based Encyrption (PBE) parameter generator classes.

Field Summary
`protected int` | `iterationCount`
`protected byte[]` | `password`
`protected byte[]` | `salt`

Constructor Summary
`protected` | `PBEParametersGenerator()` base constructor.

Method Summary
`abstract CipherParameters` | `generateDerivedMacParameters(int keySize)` generate derived parameters for a key of length keySize, specifically for use with a MAC.
`abstract CipherParameters` | `generateDerivedParameters(int keySize)` generate derived parameters for a key of length keySize.
`abstract CipherParameters` | `generateDerivedParameters(int keySize, int ivSize)` generate derived parameters for a key of length keySize, and an initialisation vector (IV) of length ivSize.
`int` | `getIterationCount()` return the iteration count.
`byte[]` | `getPassword()` return the password byte array.
`byte[]` | `getSalt()` return the salt byte array.
`void` | `init(byte[] password, byte[] salt, int iterationCount)` initialise the PBE generator.
`static byte[]` | `PKCS12PasswordToBytes(char[] password)` converts a password to a byte array according to the scheme in PKCS12 (unicode, big endian, 2 zero pad bytes at the end).
`static byte[]` | `PKCS5PasswordToBytes(char[] password)` converts a password to a byte array according to the scheme in PKCS5 (ascii, no padding)

  Parameters:
    `password` - a character array reqpresenting the password.
  Returns:
    a byte array representing the password.

### PKCS12PasswordToBytes

    public static byte[] PKCS12PasswordToBytes(char[] password)

  converts a password to a byte array according to the scheme in PKCS12 (unicode, big endian, 2 zero pad bytes at the end).

  Parameters:
