Constructor Detail

CAST6

public CAST6()

Creates a default CAST6 symmetric encryption algorithm using CBC mode and PKCS5 padding.

CAST6

public CAST6(String mode,
             String padding)

Creates a default CAST5 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.
