Constructor Detail

OFBBlockCipher

public OFBBlockCipher(BlockCipher cipher,
                      int bitBlockSize)

Basic constructor.

Parameters:

cipher - the block cipher to be used as the basis of the feedback mode.

bitBlockSize - the block size in bits (note: a multiple of 8)

Method Detail

init

public void init(boolean encrypting,
                 CipherParameters params)
          throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Initialise the cipher and, possibly, the initialisation vector (IV). If an IV isn't passed as part of the parameter, the IV will be all zeros. An IV which is too short is handled in FIPS compliant fashion.

Parameters:

encrypting - if true the cipher is initialised for encryption, if false for decryption.

params - the key and other data required by the cipher.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the params argument is inappropriate.

getAlgorithmName

public java.lang.String getAlgorithmName()

return the algorithm name and mode.

Returns:

the name of the underlying algorithm followed by "/OFB" and the block size in bits

getBlockSize

public int getBlockSize()

return the block size we are operating at (in bytes).

Returns:

the block size we are operating at (in bytes).

processBlock

public int processBlock(byte[] in,
                        int inOff,
                        byte[] out,
                        int outOff)
                 throws DataLengthException,
                        java.lang.IllegalStateException

Process one block of input from the array in and write it to the out array.

Parameters:

in - the array containing the input data.

inOff - offset into the in array the data starts at.

out - the array the output data will be copied into.

outOff - the offset into the out array the output will start at.

Returns:

the number of bytes processed and produced.

Throws:

DataLengthException - if there isn't enough data in in, or space in out.

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the cipher isn't initialised.

reset

public void reset()

reset the feedback vector back to the IV and reset the underlying cipher.

calculateByte

protected byte calculateByte(byte in)
                      throws DataLengthException,
                             java.lang.IllegalStateException

Specified by:

calculateByte in class StreamBlockCipher

Throws:

DataLengthException

java.lang.IllegalStateException
