Class HAVAL

java.lang.Object

java.security.MessageDigestSpi

java.security.MessageDigest

cryptix.provider.md.HAVAL

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, Parameterized, VariableLengthDigest

public class HAVAL
extends java.security.MessageDigest
implements Parameterized, VariableLengthDigest, java.lang.Cloneable

A Java class to digest input according to the HAVAL algorithm.

HAVAL is a variable length MD with a variable number of passes. The values for these two parameters are read from the provider '.properties' file. Here is an example of the two property lines that do that:

    Alg.passes.HAVAL = 3
    Alg.bitLength.HAVAL = 256

HAVAL

public HAVAL()

Method Detail

getLinkStatus

public static LinkStatus getLinkStatus()

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Returns a copy of this MD object.

Overrides:

clone in class java.security.MessageDigest

engineReset

protected void engineReset()

Resets this object disregarding any temporary data present at the time of the invocation of this call.

Specified by:

engineReset in class java.security.MessageDigestSpi

engineUpdate

protected void engineUpdate(byte input)

Continues a HAVAL message digest using the input byte.

Specified by:

engineUpdate in class java.security.MessageDigestSpi

engineUpdate

protected void engineUpdate(byte[] input,
                int offset,
                int len)

Hashes a byte array from a given offset for a specified length. to be used in conjunction with engineReset() and finish().

Specified by:

engineUpdate in class java.security.MessageDigestSpi

Parameters:

input - byte array from which data is to be hashed.

offset - start index of bytes to hash in input.

len - number of bytes to hash.

engineDigest

protected byte[] engineDigest()

Completes the hash computation by performing final operations such as padding. At the return of this engineDigest, the MD engine is reset.

Specified by:

engineDigest in class java.security.MessageDigestSpi

Returns:

the array of bytes for the resulting hash value.

engineGetDigestLength

protected int engineGetDigestLength()

SPI: Returns the digest length in bytes.

Overrides:

engineGetDigestLength in class java.security.MessageDigestSpi

setParameter

public void setParameter(java.lang.String param,
                java.lang.Object value)
                  throws NoSuchParameterException,
                         java.security.InvalidParameterException,
                         InvalidParameterTypeException

Description copied from interface: Parameterized

Sets the specified algorithm parameter to the specified value.

This method supplies a general-purpose mechanism through which it is possible to set the various parameters of this object. A uniform algorithm-specific naming scheme for each parameter is desirable but left unspecified at this time.

Specified by:

setParameter in interface Parameterized

Parameters:

param - the string identifier of the parameter.

value - the parameter value.

Throws:

NoSuchParameterException - if there is no parameter with name param for this cipher implementation.

java.security.InvalidParameterException - if the parameter exists but cannot be set (for example because the object is in the wrong state).

InvalidParameterTypeException - if value is the wrong type for this parameter.

getParameter

public java.lang.Object getParameter(java.lang.String param)
                              throws NoSuchParameterException,
                                     java.security.InvalidParameterException

Description copied from interface: Parameterized

Specified by:

getParameter in interface Parameterized

Parameters:

param - the string name of the parameter.

Returns:

the object that represents the parameter value.

Throws:

NoSuchParameterException - if there is no parameter with name param for this implementation.

java.security.InvalidParameterException - if the parameter exists but cannot be read.
