Constructor Detail

Blowfish

public Blowfish()

Creates a default CAST5 symmetric encryption algorithm using CBC mode and PKCS5 padding.

Blowfish

public Blowfish(String mode,
                String padding)

Creates a default Blowfish symmetric encryption algorithm using the given mode and padding style.

Parameters:

mode - Cipher mode name.

padding - Cipher padding style name.

Method Detail

getDefaultKeyLength

public int getDefaultKeyLength()

Gets the default key length for this algorithm.

Overrides:

getDefaultKeyLength in class SymmetricAlgorithm

Returns:

Default key length in bits.

getAllowedKeyLengths

public int[] getAllowedKeyLengths()

Gets an array of key lengths that are acceptable for the cipher algorithm. By convention the lengths are returned in descending sort order from longest to shortest. There are some ciphers (e.g. Blowfish) that allow key sizes to be any integral value in a range; in those cases only key sizes that are multiple of the cipher block length are returned. Thus this method always returns lengths that are acceptable, but not necessarily all possible lengths.

Overrides:

getAllowedKeyLengths in class SymmetricAlgorithm

Returns:

Array of key lengths in bits.

getMinKeyLength

public int getMinKeyLength()

Gets the minimum key length for this algorithm.

Overrides:

getMinKeyLength in class SymmetricAlgorithm

Returns:

Minimum key length in bits.

getMaxKeyLength

public int getMaxKeyLength()

Gets the maximum key length for this algorithm.

Overrides:

getMaxKeyLength in class SymmetricAlgorithm

Returns:

Maximum key length in bits.

isValidKeyLength

public boolean isValidKeyLength(int bitLength)

Determines whether the given key size in bits is valid for this symmetric cipher algorithm.

Overrides:

isValidKeyLength in class SymmetricAlgorithm

Parameters:

bitLength - Key size in bits.

Returns:

True if given value is a valid key size for this algorithm, false otherwise.
