Class PKCS1Encoding

java.lang.Object

org.bouncycastle.crypto.encodings.PKCS1Encoding

All Implemented Interfaces:

AsymmetricBlockCipher

public class PKCS1Encoding
extends java.lang.Object
implements AsymmetricBlockCipher

this does your basic PKCS 1 v1.5 padding - whether or not you should be using this depends on your application - see PKCS1 Version 2 for details.

STRICT_LENGTH_ENABLED_PROPERTY

public static final java.lang.String STRICT_LENGTH_ENABLED_PROPERTY

Deprecated. use NOT_STRICT_LENGTH_ENABLED_PROPERTY

Constant Field Values

NOT_STRICT_LENGTH_ENABLED_PROPERTY

public static final java.lang.String NOT_STRICT_LENGTH_ENABLED_PROPERTY

some providers fail to include the leading zero in PKCS1 encoded blocks. If you need to work with one of these set the system property org.bouncycastle.pkcs1.not_strict to true.

The system property is checked during construction of the encoding object, it is set to false by default.

Constructor Detail

PKCS1Encoding

public PKCS1Encoding(AsymmetricBlockCipher cipher)

Basic constructor.

Parameters:

cipher -

PKCS1Encoding

public PKCS1Encoding(AsymmetricBlockCipher cipher,
                     int pLen)

Constructor for decryption with a fixed plaintext length.

Parameters:

cipher - The cipher to use for cryptographic operation.

pLen - Length of the expected plaintext.

PKCS1Encoding

public PKCS1Encoding(AsymmetricBlockCipher cipher,
                     byte[] fallback)

Constructor for decryption with a fixed plaintext length and a fallback value that is returned, if the padding is incorrect.

Parameters:

cipher - The cipher to use for cryptographic operation.

fallback - The fallback value, we don't do an arraycopy here.

Method Detail

getUnderlyingCipher

public AsymmetricBlockCipher getUnderlyingCipher()

init

public void init(boolean forEncryption,
                 CipherParameters param)

Description copied from interface: AsymmetricBlockCipher

initialise the cipher.

Specified by:

init in interface AsymmetricBlockCipher

Parameters:

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

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

getInputBlockSize

public int getInputBlockSize()

Description copied from interface: AsymmetricBlockCipher

returns the largest size an input block can be.

Specified by:

getInputBlockSize in interface AsymmetricBlockCipher

Returns:

maximum size for an input block.

getOutputBlockSize

public int getOutputBlockSize()

Description copied from interface: AsymmetricBlockCipher

returns the maximum size of the block produced by this cipher.

Specified by:

getOutputBlockSize in interface AsymmetricBlockCipher

Returns:

maximum size of the output block produced by the cipher.

processBlock

public byte[] processBlock(byte[] in,
                           int inOff,
                           int inLen)
                    throws InvalidCipherTextException

Description copied from interface: AsymmetricBlockCipher

process the block of len bytes stored in in from offset inOff.

Specified by:

processBlock in interface AsymmetricBlockCipher

Parameters:

in - the input data

inOff - offset into the in array where the data starts

inLen - the length of the block to be processed.

Returns:

the resulting byte array of the encryption/decryption process.

Throws:

InvalidCipherTextException - data decrypts improperly.
