  +--org.bouncycastle.crypto.engines.RSABlindingEngine

All Implemented Interfaces:

AsymmetricBlockCipher

public class RSABlindingEngine

extends java.lang.Object

implements AsymmetricBlockCipher

This does your basic RSA Chaum's blinding and unblinding as outlined in "Handbook of Applied Cryptography", page 475. You need to use this if you are trying to get another party to generate signatures without them being aware of the message they are signing.

Constructor Summary

Method Summary

int	getInputBlockSize() Return the maximum size for an input block to this engine.
int	getOutputBlockSize() Return the maximum size for an output block to this engine.
void	init(boolean forEncryption, CipherParameters param) Initialise the blinding engine.
byte[]	processBlock(byte[] in, int inOff, int inLen) Process a single block using the RSA blinding algorithm.

Constructor Detail

RSABlindingEngine

public RSABlindingEngine()

Method Detail

init

public void init(boolean forEncryption,
                 CipherParameters param)

Initialise the blinding engine.

Specified by:

init in interface AsymmetricBlockCipher

Parameters:

forEncryption - true if we are encrypting (blinding), false otherwise.

param - the necessary RSA key parameters.

getInputBlockSize

public int getInputBlockSize()

Return the maximum size for an input block to this engine. For RSA this is always one byte less than the key size on encryption, and the same length as the key size on decryption.

Specified by:

getInputBlockSize in interface AsymmetricBlockCipher

Returns:

maximum size for an input block.

getOutputBlockSize

public int getOutputBlockSize()

Return the maximum size for an output block to this engine. For RSA this is always one byte less than the key size on decryption, and the same length as the key size on encryption.

Specified by:

getOutputBlockSize in interface AsymmetricBlockCipher

Returns:

maximum size for an output block.

processBlock

public byte[] processBlock(byte[] in,
                           int inOff,
                           int inLen)

Process a single block using the RSA blinding algorithm.

Specified by:

processBlock in interface AsymmetricBlockCipher

Parameters:

in - the input array.

inOff - the offset into the input buffer where the data starts.

inLen - the length of the data to be processed.

Returns:

the result of the RSA process.

Throws:

DataLengthException - the input block is too large.
