Class NTRUPlusKEMExtractor

java.lang.Object
  org.bouncycastle.pqc.crypto.ntruplus.NTRUPlusKEMExtractor

All Implemented Interfaces:

EncapsulatedSecretExtractor

public class NTRUPlusKEMExtractor

extends java.lang.Object

implements EncapsulatedSecretExtractor

NTRU+ decapsulation.

Not thread safe. The NTRUPlusEngine built here keeps one SHAKE instance in a field, so two threads sharing an extractor interleave its absorb and squeeze phases: the secrets they recover do not match the sender's, and an IllegalStateException from the digest is also possible. Give each thread its own extractor - construction is cheap, roughly a thousandth of a decapsulation. The KEM.Decapsulator that javax.crypto.KEM builds does exactly that, since that API requires decapsulate to be safe for concurrent use.

Constructor Summary

NTRUPlusKEMExtractor(NTRUPlusPrivateKeyParameters privateKey)

Method Summary

byte[]	extractSecret(byte[] encapsulation) Extract the shared secret from an NTRU+ encapsulation.
int	getEncapsulationLength() Return the length in bytes of the encapsulation.

Constructor Detail

NTRUPlusKEMExtractor

public NTRUPlusKEMExtractor(NTRUPlusPrivateKeyParameters privateKey)

Method Detail

extractSecret

public byte[] extractSecret(byte[] encapsulation)

Extract the shared secret from an NTRU+ encapsulation.

NTRU+ rejects an invalid encapsulation explicitly rather than implicitly: there is no pseudorandom rejection secret, so an encapsulation that fails the re-encryption check, or is not a canonical encoding, is refused with an exception instead of yielding a secret.

Specified by:

extractSecret in interface EncapsulatedSecretExtractor

Parameters:

encapsulation - the encapsulated secret.

Returns:

the shared secret.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the encapsulation is the wrong length or is rejected.

getEncapsulationLength

public int getEncapsulationLength()

Description copied from interface: EncapsulatedSecretExtractor

Return the length in bytes of the encapsulation.

Specified by:

getEncapsulationLength in interface EncapsulatedSecretExtractor

Returns:

length in bytes of an encapsulation for this parameter set.
