Direct Known Subclasses:

OpenSSLPBEParametersGenerator, PKCS12ParametersGenerator, PKCS5S1ParametersGenerator

public abstract class PBEParametersGenerator
extends Object

super class for all Password Based Encyrption (PBE) parameter generator classes.

Field Summary

protected int	iterationCount
protected byte[]	password
protected byte[]	salt

Constructor Summary

protected

PBEParametersGenerator() base constructor.

Method Summary

abstract CipherParameters	generateDerivedMacParameters(int keySize) generate derived parameters for a key of length keySize, specifically for use with a MAC.
abstract CipherParameters	generateDerivedParameters(int keySize) generate derived parameters for a key of length keySize.
abstract CipherParameters	generateDerivedParameters(int keySize, int ivSize) generate derived parameters for a key of length keySize, and an initialisation vector (IV) of length ivSize.
int	getIterationCount() return the iteration count.
byte[]	getPassword() return the password byte array.
byte[]	getSalt() return the salt byte array.
void	init(byte[] password, byte[] salt, int iterationCount) initialise the PBE generator.
static byte[]	PKCS12PasswordToBytes(char[] password) converts a password to a byte array according to the scheme in PKCS12 (unicode, big endian, 2 zero pad bytes at the end).
static byte[]	PKCS5PasswordToBytes(char[] password) converts a password to a byte array according to the scheme in PKCS5 (ascii, no padding)

Method Detail

init

public void init(byte[] password,
                 byte[] salt,
                 int iterationCount)

initialise the PBE generator.

Parameters:

password - the password converted into bytes (see below).

salt - the salt to be mixed with the password.

iterationCount - the number of iterations the "mixing" function is to be applied for.

getPassword

public byte[] getPassword()

return the password byte array.

Returns:

the password byte array.

getSalt

public byte[] getSalt()

return the salt byte array.

Returns:

the salt byte array.

getIterationCount

public int getIterationCount()

return the iteration count.

Returns:

the iteration count.

generateDerivedParameters

public abstract CipherParameters generateDerivedParameters(int keySize)

generate derived parameters for a key of length keySize.

Parameters:

keySize - the length, in bits, of the key required.

Returns:

a parameters object representing a key.

generateDerivedParameters

public abstract CipherParameters generateDerivedParameters(int keySize,
                                                           int ivSize)

generate derived parameters for a key of length keySize, and an initialisation vector (IV) of length ivSize.

Parameters:

keySize - the length, in bits, of the key required.

ivSize - the length, in bits, of the iv required.

Returns:

a parameters object representing a key and an IV.

generateDerivedMacParameters

public abstract CipherParameters generateDerivedMacParameters(int keySize)

generate derived parameters for a key of length keySize, specifically for use with a MAC.

Parameters:

keySize - the length, in bits, of the key required.

Returns:

a parameters object representing a key.

PKCS5PasswordToBytes

public static byte[] PKCS5PasswordToBytes(char[] password)

converts a password to a byte array according to the scheme in PKCS5 (ascii, no padding)

Parameters:

password - a character array reqpresenting the password.

Returns:

a byte array representing the password.

PKCS12PasswordToBytes

public static byte[] PKCS12PasswordToBytes(char[] password)

converts a password to a byte array according to the scheme in PKCS12 (unicode, big endian, 2 zero pad bytes at the end).

Parameters:

password - a character array reqpresenting the password.

Returns:

a byte array representing the password.
