  +--org.bouncycastle.crypto.engines.SerpentEngine
All Implemented Interfaces:
BlockCipher
public class SerpentEngine
extends java.lang.Object
implements BlockCipher

Serpent is a 128-bit 32-round block cipher with variable key lengths, including 128, 192 and 256 bit keys conjectured to be at least as secure as three-key triple-DES.

Serpent was designed by Ross Anderson, Eli Biham and Lars Knudsen as a candidate algorithm for the NIST AES Quest.>

Constructor Detail

SerpentEngine

public SerpentEngine()
Method Detail

init

public void init(boolean encrypting,
                 CipherParameters params)
initialise a Serpent 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.

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.

processBlock

public final 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.
Specified by:
processBlock in interface 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
