A Two-Pass Authenticated-Encryption Scheme Optimized for Simplicity and Efficiency - by M. Bellare, P. Rogaway, D. Wagner. http://www.cs.ucdavis.edu/~rogaway/papers/eax.pdf EAX is an AEAD scheme based on CTR and OMAC1/CMAC, that uses a single block cipher to encrypt and authenticate data. It's on-line (the length of a message isn't needed to begin processing it), has good performances, it's simple and provably secure (provided the underlying block cipher is secure). Of course, this implementations is NOT thread-safe.

Constructor Detail

EAXBlockCipher

public EAXBlockCipher(BlockCipher cipher)

Constructor that accepts an instance of a block cipher engine.

Parameters:

cipher - the engine to use

Method Detail

getAlgorithmName

public java.lang.String getAlgorithmName()

Description copied from interface: AEADBlockCipher

Return the name of the algorithm.

Specified by:

getAlgorithmName in interface AEADBlockCipher

Returns:

the algorithm name.

getUnderlyingCipher

public BlockCipher getUnderlyingCipher()

Description copied from interface: AEADBlockCipher

return the cipher this object wraps.

Specified by:

getUnderlyingCipher in interface AEADBlockCipher

Returns:

the cipher this object wraps.

getBlockSize

public int getBlockSize()

init

public void init(boolean forEncryption,
                 CipherParameters params)
          throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from interface: AEADBlockCipher

initialise the underlying cipher. Parameter can either be an AEADParameters or a ParametersWithIV object.

Specified by:

init in interface AEADBlockCipher

Parameters:

forEncryption - true if we are setting up for encryption, false otherwise.

params - the necessary parameters for the underlying cipher to be initialised.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the params argument is inappropriate.

reset

public void reset()

Description copied from interface: AEADBlockCipher

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 AEADBlockCipher

processByte

public int processByte(byte in,
                       byte[] out,
                       int outOff)
                throws DataLengthException

Description copied from interface: AEADBlockCipher

encrypt/decrypt a single byte.

Specified by:

processByte in interface AEADBlockCipher

Parameters:

in - the byte to be processed.

out - the output buffer the processed byte goes into.

outOff - the offset into the output byte array the processed data starts at.

Returns:

the number of bytes written to out.

Throws:

DataLengthException - if the output buffer is too small.

processBytes

public int processBytes(byte[] in,
                        int inOff,
                        int len,
                        byte[] out,

                 throws DataLengthException

Description copied from interface: AEADBlockCipher

process a block of bytes from in putting the result into out.

Specified by:

processBytes in interface AEADBlockCipher

Parameters:

in - the input byte array.

inOff - the offset into the in array where the data to be processed starts.

len - the number of bytes to be processed.

out - the output buffer the processed bytes go into.

outOff - the offset into the output byte array the processed data starts at.

Returns:

the number of bytes written to out.

Throws:

DataLengthException - if the output buffer is too small.

doFinal

public int doFinal(byte[] out,
                   int outOff)

                   InvalidCipherTextException

Description copied from interface: AEADBlockCipher

Finish the operation either appending or verifying the MAC at the end of the data.

Specified by:

doFinal in interface AEADBlockCipher

Parameters:

out - space for any resulting output data.

outOff - offset into out to start copying the data at.

Returns:

number of bytes written into out.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the cipher is in an inappropriate state.

InvalidCipherTextException - if the MAC fails to match.

getMac

public byte[] getMac()
