Class SerpentEngine

java.lang.Object
  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.>

SerpentEngine

public SerpentEngine()

Method Detail

init

public void init(boolean encrypting,
                 CipherParameters params)

initialise a Serpent cipher.

Specified by:

init in interface BlockCipher

Parameters:

encrypting - 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

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

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
