Class KDF2BytesGenerator

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--org.bouncycastle.crypto.generators.KDF2BytesGenerator

All Implemented Interfaces:

DerivationFunction

public class KDF2BytesGenerator

extends java.lang.Object

implements DerivationFunction

Generator for PBE derived keys and ivs as defined by IEEE P1363a

This implementation is based on draft 9 of IEEE P1363a. Note: as this is still a draft the output of this generator may change, don't use it for anything that might be subject to long term storage.

Constructor Summary

KDF2BytesGenerator(Digest digest)
Construct a KDF2 Parameters generator.

Method Summary

int	generateBytes(byte[] out, int outOff, int len) fill len bytes of the output buffer with bytes generated from the derivation function.
void	init(DerivationParameters param)

Constructor Detail

KDF2BytesGenerator

public KDF2BytesGenerator(Digest digest)

Construct a KDF2 Parameters generator. Generates key material according to IEEE P1363a - if you want orthodox results you should use a digest specified in the standard.

Note: IEEE P1363a standard is still a draft standard, if the standard changes this function, the output of this function will change as well. Don't use this routine for anything subject to long term storage.

Parameters:

digest - the digest to be used as the source of derived keys.

Method Detail

init

public void init(DerivationParameters param)

Specified by:

init in interface DerivationFunction

generateBytes

public int generateBytes(byte[] out,
                         int outOff,
                         int len)
                  throws DataLengthException,
                         java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

fill len bytes of the output buffer with bytes generated from the derivation function.

Specified by:

generateBytes in interface DerivationFunction

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the size of the request will cause an overflow.

DataLengthException - if the out buffer is too small.
