Constructor Detail

BlockCipherMac

public BlockCipherMac(BlockCipher cipher)
Deprecated. use CBCBlockCipherMac

create a standard MAC based on a block cipher. This will produce an authentication code half the length of the block size of the cipher.
Parameters:
cipher - the cipher to be used as the basis of the MAC generation.

BlockCipherMac

public BlockCipherMac(BlockCipher cipher,
                      int macSizeInBits)
Deprecated. use CBCBlockCipherMac

create a standard MAC based on a block cipher with the size of the MAC been given in bits.

Note: the size of the MAC must be at least 16 bits (FIPS Publication 113), and in general should be less than the size of the block cipher as it reduces the chance of an exhaustive attack (see Handbook of Applied Cryptography).

Parameters:
cipher - the cipher to be used as the basis of the MAC generation.
macSizeInBits - the size of the MAC in bits, must be a multiple of 8.
Method Detail

getAlgorithmName

public java.lang.String getAlgorithmName()
Description copied from interface: Mac
Return the name of the algorithm the MAC implements.
Specified by:
getAlgorithmName in interface Mac
Following copied from interface: org.bouncycastle.crypto.Mac
Returns:
the name of the algorithm the MAC implements.

init

public void init(CipherParameters params)
Description copied from interface: Mac
Initialise the MAC.
Specified by:
init in interface Mac
Following copied from interface: org.bouncycastle.crypto.Mac
Parameters:
param - the key and other data required by the MAC.
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the params argument is inappropriate.

getMacSize

public int getMacSize()
Description copied from interface: Mac
Return the block size for this cipher (in bytes).
Specified by:
getMacSize in interface Mac
Following copied from interface: org.bouncycastle.crypto.Mac
Returns:
the block size for this cipher in bytes.

update

public void update(byte in)
Description copied from interface: Mac
add a single byte to the mac for processing.
Specified by:
update in interface Mac
Following copied from interface: org.bouncycastle.crypto.Mac
Parameters:
in - the byte to be processed.
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the MAC is not initialised.

update

public void update(byte[] in,
                   int inOff,
                   int len)
Specified by:
update in interface Mac
Following copied from interface: org.bouncycastle.crypto.Mac
Parameters:
in - the array containing the input.
inOff - the index in the array the data begins at.
len - the length of the input starting at inOff.
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the MAC is not initialised.
DataLengthException - if there isn't enough data in in.

doFinal

public int doFinal(byte[] out,
                   int outOff)
Description copied from interface: Mac
Compute the final statge of the MAC writing the output to the out parameter.

doFinal leaves the MAC in the same state it was after the last init.

Specified by:
doFinal in interface Mac
Following copied from interface: org.bouncycastle.crypto.Mac
Parameters:
out - the array the MAC is to be output to.
outOff - the offset into the out buffer the output is to start at.
Throws:
DataLengthException - if there isn't enough space in out.
java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the MAC is not initialised.

reset

public void reset()
Reset the mac generator.
Specified by:
reset in interface Mac
