Class GMac

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Mac

    public class GMac
    extends Object
    implements Mac
    The GMAC specialisation of Galois/Counter mode (GCM) detailed in NIST Special Publication 800-38D.

    GMac is an invocation of the GCM mode where no data is encrypted (i.e. all input data to the Mac is processed as additional authenticated data with the underlying GCM block cipher).

    • Constructor Detail

      • GMac

        public GMac​(GCMBlockCipher cipher)
        Creates a GMAC based on the operation of a block cipher in GCM mode.

        This will produce an authentication code the length of the block size of the cipher.

        Parameters:
        cipher - the cipher to be used in GCM mode to generate the MAC.
      • GMac

        public GMac​(GCMBlockCipher cipher,
                    int macSizeBits)
        Creates a GMAC based on the operation of a 128 bit block cipher in GCM mode.
        Parameters:
        macSizeBits - the mac size to generate, in bits. Must be a multiple of 8 and >= 32 and <= 128. Sizes less than 96 are not recommended, but are supported for specialized applications.
        cipher - the cipher to be used in GCM mode to generate the MAC.
    • Method Detail

      • getAlgorithmName

        public String getAlgorithmName()
        Description copied from interface: Mac
        Return the name of the algorithm the MAC implements.
        Specified by:
        getAlgorithmName in interface Mac
        Returns:
        the name of the algorithm the MAC implements.
      • getMacSize

        public int getMacSize()
        Description copied from interface: Mac
        Return the block size for this MAC (in bytes).
        Specified by:
        getMacSize in interface Mac
        Returns:
        the block size for this MAC in bytes.
      • update

        public void update​(byte in)
                    throws IllegalStateException
        Description copied from interface: Mac
        add a single byte to the mac for processing.
        Specified by:
        update in interface Mac
        Parameters:
        in - the byte to be processed.
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - if the MAC is not initialised.
      • doFinal

        public int doFinal​(byte[] out,
                           int outOff)
                    throws DataLengthException,
                           IllegalStateException
        Description copied from interface: Mac
        Compute the final stage of the MAC writing the output to the out parameter.

        doFinal leaves the MAC in the same state it was after the last init.

        Specified by:
        doFinal in interface Mac
        Parameters:
        out - the array the MAC is to be output to.
        outOff - the offset into the out buffer the output is to start at.
        Throws:
        DataLengthException - if there isn't enough space in out.
        IllegalStateException - if the MAC is not initialised.
      • reset

        public void reset()
        Description copied from interface: Mac
        Reset the MAC. At the end of resetting the MAC should be in the in the same state it was after the last init (if there was one).
        Specified by:
        reset in interface Mac
