## Class Poly1305

- java.lang.Object
- - org.bouncycastle.crypto.macs.Poly1305

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Mac

      public class Poly1305
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements Mac

  Poly1305 message authentication code, designed by D. J. Bernstein.

  Poly1305 computes a 128-bit (16 bytes) authenticator, using a 128 bit nonce and a 256 bit key consisting of a 128 bit key applied to an underlying cipher, and a 128 bit key (with 106 effective key bits) used in the authenticator.

  The polynomial calculation in this implementation is adapted from the public domain poly1305-donna-unrolled C implementation by Andrew M (@floodyberry).

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### Poly1305

          public Poly1305()

      Constructs a Poly1305 MAC, where the key passed to init() will be used directly.

    - #### Poly1305

          public Poly1305(BlockCipher cipher)

      Constructs a Poly1305 MAC, using a 128 bit block cipher.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### init

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

      Initialises the Poly1305 MAC.
      Specified by:
        `init` in interface `Mac`
      Parameters:
        `params` - if used with a block cipher, then a `ParametersWithIV` containing a 128 bit nonce and a `KeyParameter` with a 256 bit key complying to the `Poly1305 key format`, otherwise just the `KeyParameter`.
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the params argument is inappropriate.

    - #### getAlgorithmName

          public java.lang.String getAlgorithmName()

      Description copied from interface: `Mac`
      Return the name of the algorithm the MAC implements.
      Specified by:
        `getAlgorithmName` in interface `Mac`
      Returns:
        the name of the algorithm the MAC implements.

    - #### getMacSize

          public int getMacSize()

      Description copied from interface: `Mac`
      Return the block size for this MAC (in bytes).
      Specified by:
        `getMacSize` in interface `Mac`
      Returns:
        the block size for this MAC in bytes.

    - #### update

          public void update(byte in)
                      throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

      Description copied from interface: `Mac`
      add a single byte to the mac for processing.
      Specified by:
        `update` in interface `Mac`
      Parameters:
        `in` - the byte to be processed.
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if the MAC is not initialised.

    - #### update

          public void update(byte[] in,
                             int inOff,
                             int len)
                      throws DataLengthException,
                             java.lang.IllegalStateException

      Specified by:
        `update` in interface `Mac`
      Parameters:
        `in` - the array containing the input.
        `inOff` - the index in the array the data begins at.
        `len` - the length of the input starting at inOff.
      Throws:
        `DataLengthException` - if there isn't enough data in in.
        `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if the MAC is not initialised.

    - #### doFinal

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

      Description copied from interface: `Mac`
      Compute the final stage of the MAC writing the output to the out parameter.

      doFinal leaves the MAC in the same state it was after the last init.

      Description copied from interface: `Mac`
      Reset the MAC. At the end of resetting the MAC should be in the in the same state it was after the last init (if there was one).
