Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
String	getAlgorithmName() Return the name of the algorithm the cipher implements.
int	getBlockSize() Return the block size for this cipher (in bytes).
void	init(boolean forEncryption, CipherParameters params) Initialise the cipher.
int	processBlock(byte[] in, int inOff, byte[] out, int outOff) Process one block of input from the array in and write it to the out array.
void	reset() Reset the cipher.

Method Detail

init

void init(boolean forEncryption,
          CipherParameters params)
   throws IllegalArgumentException

Initialise the cipher.

Parameters:

forEncryption - if true the cipher is initialised for encryption, if false for decryption.

params - the key and other data required by the cipher.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the params argument is inappropriate.

getAlgorithmName

String getAlgorithmName()

Return the name of the algorithm the cipher implements.

Returns:

the name of the algorithm the cipher implements.

getBlockSize

int getBlockSize()

Return the block size for this cipher (in bytes).

Returns:

the block size for this cipher in bytes.

processBlock

int processBlock(byte[] in,
                 int inOff,
                 byte[] out,
                 int outOff)
          throws DataLengthException,
                 IllegalStateException

Process one block of input from the array in and write it to the out array.

Parameters:

in - the array containing the input data.

inOff - offset into the in array the data starts at.

out - the array the output data will be copied into.

outOff - the offset into the out array the output will start at.

Returns:

the number of bytes processed and produced.

Throws:

DataLengthException - if there isn't enough data in in, or space in out.

IllegalStateException - if the cipher isn't initialised.

reset

void reset()

Reset the cipher. After resetting the cipher is in the same state as it was after the last init (if there was one).
