Cipher (Java Platform SE 6)

This class provides the functionality of a cryptographic cipher for encryption and decryption. It forms the core of the Java Cryptographic Extension (JCE) framework.

In order to create a Cipher object, the application calls the Cipher's getInstance method, and passes the name of the requested transformation to it. Optionally, the name of a provider may be specified.

A transformation is a string that describes the operation (or set of operations) to be performed on the given input, to produce some output. A transformation always includes the name of a cryptographic algorithm (e.g., DES), and may be followed by a feedback mode and padding scheme.

A transformation is of the form:

"algorithm/mode/padding" or
"algorithm"

(in the latter case, provider-specific default values for the mode and padding scheme are used). For example, the following is a valid transformation:

     Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance("DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");

Using modes such as CFB and

OFB, block
 ciphers can encrypt data in units smaller than the cipher's actual
 block size.  When requesting such a mode, you may optionally specify
 the number of bits to be processed at a time by appending this number
 to the mode name as shown in the "DES/CFB8/NoPadding" and
 "DES/OFB32/PKCS5Padding" transformations. If no such
 number is specified, a provider-specific default is used. (For
 example, the SunJCE provider uses a default of 64 bits for DES.)
 Thus, block ciphers can be turned into byte-oriented stream ciphers by
 using an 8 bit mode such as CFB8 or OFB8.

Parameters:
inputLen - the input length (in bytes)

 underlying algorithm does not use an IV, or if the IV has not yet
 been set.

init
public final void init(int opmode,
                       Key key)
                throws InvalidKeyException

Initializes this cipher with a key.

 The cipher is initialized for one of the following four operations:
 encryption, decryption, key wrapping or key unwrapping, depending
 on the value of opmode.

 
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 or key wrapping, and raise an
 InvalidKeyException if it is being
 initialized for decryption or key unwrapping.
 The generated parameters can be retrieved using
 getParameters or
 getIV (if the parameter is an IV).

 
If this cipher (including its underlying feedback or padding scheme)
 requires any random bytes (e.g., for parameter generation), it will get
 them using the SecureRandom
 implementation of the highest-priority
 installed provider as the source of randomness.
 (If none of the installed providers supply an implementation of
 SecureRandom, a system-provided source of randomness will be used.)

 
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.


Parameters:
opmode - the operation mode of this cipher (this is one of
 the following:
 ENCRYPT_MODE, DECRYPT_MODE,
 WRAP_MODE or UNWRAP_MODE)
key - the key
Throws:
InvalidKeyException - if the given key is inappropriate for
 initializing this cipher, or if this cipher is being initialized for
 decryption and requires algorithm parameters that cannot be
 determined from the given key, or if the given key has a keysize that
 exceeds the maximum allowable keysize (as determined from the
 configured jurisdiction policy files).

 algorithm parameters imply a cryptographic strength that would exceed
 the legal limits (as determined from the configured jurisdiction
 policy files).





init
public final void init(int opmode,
                       Certificate certificate)
                throws InvalidKeyException

Initializes this cipher with the public key from the given certificate.
  The cipher is initialized for one of the following four operations:
 encryption, decryption, key wrapping or  key unwrapping, depending
 on the value of opmode.

 
If the certificate is of type X.509 and has a key usage
 extension field marked as critical, and the value of the key usage
 extension field implies that the public key in
 the certificate and its corresponding private key are not
 supposed to be used for the operation represented by the value
 of opmode,
 an InvalidKeyException
 is thrown.

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

 
If this cipher (including its underlying feedback or padding scheme)
 requires any random bytes (e.g., for parameter generation), it will get
 them using the
 SecureRandom
 implementation of the highest-priority
 installed provider as the source of randomness.
 (If none of the installed providers supply an implementation of
 SecureRandom, a system-provided source of randomness will be used.)

 
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.


Parameters:
opmode - the operation mode of this cipher (this is one of the
 following:
 ENCRYPT_MODE, DECRYPT_MODE,
 WRAP_MODE or UNWRAP_MODE)
certificate - the certificate
Throws:
InvalidKeyException - if the public key in the given
 certificate is inappropriate for initializing this cipher, or this
 cipher is being initialized for decryption or unwrapping keys and
 requires algorithm parameters that cannot be determined from the
 public key in the given certificate, or the keysize of the public key
 in the given certificate has a keysize that exceeds the maximum
 allowable keysize (as determined by the configured jurisdiction policy
 files).

                throws InvalidKeyException

Initializes this cipher with the public key from the given certificate
 and
 a source of randomness.

 The cipher is initialized for one of the following four operations:

Parameters:
opmode - the operation mode of this cipher (this is one of the

                 throws ShortBufferException

Continues a multiple-part encryption or decryption operation
 (depending on how this cipher was initialized), processing another data
 part.

 The first inputLen bytes in the input
 buffer, starting at inputOffset inclusive, are processed,
 and the result is stored in the output buffer.

 
If the output buffer is too small to hold the result,
 a ShortBufferException is thrown. In this case, repeat this
 call with a larger output buffer. Use
 getOutputSize to determine how big
 the output buffer should be.

 
If inputLen is zero, this method returns
 a length of zero.

 
Note: this method should be copy-safe, which means the
 input and output buffers can reference
 the same byte array and no unprocessed input data is overwritten
 when the result is copied into the output buffer.

 (depending on how this cipher was initialized), processing another data
 part.

 All input.remaining() bytes starting at
 input.position() are processed. The result is stored
 in the output buffer.
 Upon return, the input buffer's position will be equal
 to its limit; its limit will not have changed. The output buffer's
 position will have advanced by n, where n is the value returned
 by this method; the output buffer's limit will not have changed.
