Bouncy Castle Cryptography 1.11 API Specification: Class BlowfishEngine

org.bouncycastle.crypto.engines
Class BlowfishEngine

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--org.bouncycastle.crypto.engines.BlowfishEngine

All Implemented Interfaces:

BlockCipher

public final class BlowfishEngine

extends java.lang.Object

implements BlockCipher

A class that provides Blowfish key encryption operations, such as encoding data and generating keys. All the algorithms herein are from Applied Cryptography and implement a simplified cryptography interface.

Constructor Summary

BlowfishEngine()

Method Summary

java.lang.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 encrypting, CipherParameters params) initialise a Blowfish 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.

Constructor Detail

BlowfishEngine

public BlowfishEngine()

Method Detail

init

public void init(boolean encrypting,
                 CipherParameters params)

initialise a Blowfish cipher.

Specified by:

init in interface BlockCipher

Parameters:

forEncryption - whether or not we are for encryption.

params - the parameters required to set up the cipher.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the params argument is inappropriate.

getAlgorithmName

public java.lang.String getAlgorithmName()

Description copied from interface: BlockCipher

Return the name of the algorithm the cipher implements.

Specified by:

getAlgorithmName in interface BlockCipher

Following copied from interface: org.bouncycastle.crypto.BlockCipher

Returns:

the name of the algorithm the cipher implements.

processBlock

public final int processBlock(byte[] in,
                              int inOff,
                              byte[] out,
                              int outOff)

Description copied from interface: BlockCipher

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

Specified by:

processBlock in interface BlockCipher

Following copied from interface: org.bouncycastle.crypto.BlockCipher

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.

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the cipher isn't initialised.

reset

public void reset()

Description copied from interface: BlockCipher

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

Specified by:

reset in interface BlockCipher

getBlockSize

public int getBlockSize()

Description copied from interface: BlockCipher

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

Specified by:

getBlockSize in interface BlockCipher

Following copied from interface: org.bouncycastle.crypto.BlockCipher

Returns:

the block size for this cipher in bytes.
