Class AsymmetricBlockCipher

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    McEliecePKCSCipherSpi

    public abstract class AsymmetricBlockCipher
    extends CipherSpiExt
    The AsymmetricBlockCipher class extends CipherSpiExt. NOTE: Some Ciphers are using Padding. OneAndZeroesPadding is used as default padding. However padding can still be specified, but mode is not supported; if you try to instantiate the cipher with something else than "NONE" as mode NoSuchAlgorithmException is thrown.
    • Field Detail

        protected int maxPlainTextSize
        The maximum number of bytes the cipher can decrypt.
      • cipherTextSize

    • Method Detail

      • getBlockSize

        public final int getBlockSize()
        Return the block size (in bytes). Note: although the ciphers extending this class are not block ciphers, the method was adopted to return the maximal plaintext and ciphertext sizes for non hybrid ciphers. If the cipher is hybrid, it returns 0.
        Specified by:
        getBlockSize in class CipherSpiExt
        Returns:
        if the cipher is not a hybrid one the max plain/cipher text size is returned, otherwise 0 is returned
      • getIV

        public final byte[] getIV()
        Description copied from class: CipherSpiExt
        Return the initialization vector. This is useful in the context of password-based encryption or decryption, where the IV is derived from a user-provided passphrase.
        Specified by:
        getIV in class CipherSpiExt
        Returns:
        null since no initialization vector is used.
      • getOutputSize

        public final int getOutputSize​(int inLen)
        Return the length in bytes that an output buffer would need to be in order to hold the result of the next update or doFinal operation, given the input length inLen (in bytes). This call takes into account any unprocessed (buffered) data from a previous update call, and padding. The actual output length of the next update() or doFinal() call may be smaller than the length returned by this method.

        If the input length plus the length of the buffered data exceeds the maximum length, 0 is returned.

        Specified by:
        getOutputSize in class CipherSpiExt
        Parameters:
        inLen - the length of the input
        Returns:
        the length of the ciphertext or 0 if the input is too long.
      • getParameters

        public final AlgorithmParameterSpec getParameters()
        Returns the parameters used with this cipher.

        The returned parameters may be the same that were used to initialize this cipher, or may contain the default set of parameters or a set of randomly generated parameters used by the underlying cipher implementation (provided that the underlying cipher implementation uses a default set of parameters or creates new parameters if it needs parameters but was not initialized with any).

        Specified by:
        getParameters in class CipherSpiExt
        Returns:
        the parameters used with this cipher, or null if this cipher does not use any parameters.
      • initEncrypt

        public final void initEncrypt​(Key key)
                               throws InvalidKeyException
        Initializes the cipher for encryption by forwarding it to initEncrypt(Key, FlexiSecureRandom).

        If this cipher requires any algorithm parameters that cannot be derived from the given key, the underlying cipher implementation is supposed to generate the required parameters itself (using provider-specific default or random values) if it is being initialized for encryption, and raise an InvalidKeyException if it is being initialized for decryption. The generated parameters can be retrieved using engineGetParameters or engineGetIV (if the parameter is an IV).

        Parameters:
        key - the encryption or decryption key.
        Throws:
        InvalidKeyException - if the given key is inappropriate for initializing this cipher.
      • initEncrypt

        public final void initEncrypt​(Key key,
                                      SecureRandom random)
                               throws InvalidKeyException
        Initialize this cipher for encryption by forwarding it to initEncrypt(Key, FlexiSecureRandom, AlgorithmParameterSpec).

        If this cipher requires any algorithm parameters that cannot be derived from the given key, the underlying cipher implementation is supposed to generate the required parameters itself (using provider-specific default or random values) if it is being initialized for encryption, and raise an InvalidKeyException if it is being initialized for decryption. The generated parameters can be retrieved using engineGetParameters or engineGetIV (if the parameter is an IV).

        Parameters:
        key - the encryption or decryption key.
        random - the source of randomness.
        Throws:
        InvalidKeyException - if the given key is inappropriate for initializing this cipher.
      • initEncrypt

        public final void initEncrypt​(Key key,

                               throws InvalidKeyException,
                                      InvalidAlgorithmParameterException
        Initializes the cipher for encryption by forwarding it to initEncrypt(Key, FlexiSecureRandom, AlgorithmParameterSpec).
        Parameters:
        key - the encryption or decryption key.
        params - the algorithm parameters.
        Throws:
        InvalidKeyException - if the given key is inappropriate for initializing this cipher.
        InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - if the given algortihm parameters are inappropriate for this cipher, or if this cipher is being initialized for decryption and requires algorithm parameters and params is null.
      • initEncrypt

        public final void initEncrypt​(Key key,
                                      AlgorithmParameterSpec params,
                                      SecureRandom secureRandom)
                               throws InvalidKeyException,
                                      InvalidAlgorithmParameterException
        This method initializes the AsymmetricBlockCipher with a certain key for data encryption.

        If this cipher (including its underlying feedback or padding scheme) requires any random bytes (e.g., for parameter generation), it will get them from random.

        Note that when a Cipher object is initialized, it loses all previously-acquired state. In other words, initializing a Cipher is equivalent to creating a new instance of that Cipher and initializing it

        Specified by:
        initEncrypt in class CipherSpiExt
        Parameters:
        key - the key which has to be used to encrypt data.
        secureRandom - the source of randomness.
        params - the algorithm parameters.
        Throws:
        InvalidKeyException - if the given key is inappropriate for initializing this cipher
        InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - if the given algorithm parameters are inappropriate for this cipher, or if this cipher is being initialized for decryption and requires algorithm parameters and params is null.

                               throws InvalidKeyException
        Initialize the cipher for decryption by forwarding it to initDecrypt(Key, AlgorithmParameterSpec).

        If this cipher requires any algorithm parameters that cannot be derived from the given key, the underlying cipher implementation is supposed to generate the required parameters itself (using provider-specific default or random values) if it is being initialized for encryption, and raise an InvalidKeyException if it is being initialized for decryption. The generated parameters can be retrieved using engineGetParameters or engineGetIV (if the parameter is an IV).

        Parameters:
        key - the encryption or decryption key.
        Throws:
        InvalidKeyException - if the given key is inappropriate for initializing this cipher.
