Class JournaledAlgorithm

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--org.bouncycastle.crypto.util.JournaledAlgorithm

All Implemented Interfaces:

Encodable, java.io.Serializable

public class JournaledAlgorithm

extends java.lang.Object

implements Encodable, java.io.Serializable

JournaledAlgorithm keeps state of the JournalingSecureRandom and the AlgorithmIdentifier necessary to fully resume an encryption session. This class can be used to retrieve a session even if a process is completely stopped. NOTE: This should be used with a shutdown hook to save the state of the journaling and the algorithm identifier even in the case of a forced shutdown.

The raw encoding is in ASN.1 format.

Details: Use serialization of critical parameters of the the JournalingSecureRandom and AlgorithmIdentifier. Because these two classes are not serializable, create interior class to serialize only the critical parameters in the form of byte[] arrays

Constructor Summary

JournaledAlgorithm(AlgorithmIdentifier aid, JournalingSecureRandom journaling)

JournaledAlgorithm(byte[] encoding)
Construct from a previous encoding, using CryptoServicesRegistrar.getSecureRandom() as the backup source of entropy.

JournaledAlgorithm(byte[] encoding, java.security.SecureRandom random)
Construct from a previous encoding, using the passed in random as a source for when the existing entropy runs out.
