SecureRandom getProvider() method in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 4 Dec, 2018
The getProvider() method of java.security.SecureRandom class is used to return the provider of this SecureRandom object. Syntax: 
public final Provider getProvider()
Return Value: This method returns the provider of this SecureRandom object. Below are the examples to illustrate the getProvider() method: Example 1: Java 
// Java program to demonstrate
// getProvider() method

import java.security.*;
import java.util.*;

public class GFG1 {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // creating the object of SecureRandom
            SecureRandom sr = SecureRandom.getInstance("SHA1PRNG");

            // getting the Provider of the SecureRandom sr
            // by using method getProvider()
            Provider provider = sr.getProvider();

            // printing the provider name
            System.out.println("Provider name : " + provider.getName());
        }

        catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {

            System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
        }
    }
}
Output: 
Provider name : SUN
Example 2: Java 
// Java program to demonstrate
// getProvider() method

import java.security.*;
import java.util.*;

public class GFG1 {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // creating the object of SecureRandom
            SecureRandom srand = new SecureRandom(new byte[] { 1, 2, 3, 4 });

            // getting the Provider of the SecureRandom sr
            // by using method getProvider()
            Provider provider = srand.getProvider();

            // printing the provider name
            System.out.println("Provider name : " + provider.getName());
        }
        catch (ProviderException e) {

            System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
        }
    }
}
Output: 
Provider name : SUN
