## Class SkeinEngine

- java.lang.Object
- - org.bouncycastle.crypto.digests.SkeinEngine

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Memoable

      public class SkeinEngine
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements Memoable

  Implementation of the Skein family of parameterised hash functions in 256, 512 and 1024 bit block sizes, based on the `Threefish` tweakable block cipher.

  This is the 1.3 version of Skein defined in the Skein hash function submission to the NIST SHA-3 competition in October 2010.

  Skein was designed by Niels Ferguson - Stefan Lucks - Bruce Schneier - Doug Whiting - Mihir Bellare - Tadayoshi Kohno - Jon Callas - Jesse Walker.

  This implementation is the basis for `SkeinDigest` and `SkeinMac`, implementing the parameter based configuration system that allows Skein to be adapted to multiple applications.
  Initialising the engine with `SkeinParameters` allows standard and arbitrary parameters to be applied during the Skein hash function.

  Implemented:

  - 256, 512 and 1024 bit internal states.
  - Full 96 bit input length.
  - Parameters defined in the Skein specification, and arbitrary other pre and post message parameters.
  - Arbitrary output size in 1 byte intervals.

  Not implemented:

  - Sub-byte length input (bit padding).
  - Tree hashing.

          public SkeinEngine(int blockSizeBits,
                             int outputSizeBits)

      Constructs a Skein engine.
      Parameters:
        `blockSizeBits` - the internal state size in bits - one of `SKEIN_256`, `SKEIN_512` or `SKEIN_1024`.
        `outputSizeBits` - the output/digest size to produce in bits, which must be an integral number of bytes.

    - #### SkeinEngine

          public SkeinEngine(SkeinEngine engine)

      Creates a SkeinEngine as an exact copy of an existing instance.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### copy

          public Memoable copy()

      Description copied from interface: `Memoable`
      Produce a copy of this object with its configuration and in its current state.

      The returned object may be used simply to store the state, or may be used as a similar object starting from the copied state.

      Specified by:
        `copy` in interface `Memoable`

    - #### reset

          public void reset(Memoable other)

      Description copied from interface: `Memoable`
      Restore a copied object state into this object.

      Implementations of this method should try to avoid or minimise memory allocation to perform the reset.

      Specified by:
        `reset` in interface `Memoable`
      Parameters:
        `other` - an object originally `copied` from an object of the same type as this instance.

    - #### getOutputSize

          public int getOutputSize()

    - #### getBlockSize

          public int getBlockSize()

    - #### init

          public void init(SkeinParameters params)

      Initialises the Skein engine with the provided parameters. See `SkeinParameters` for details on the parameterisation of the Skein hash function.
      Parameters:
        `params` - the parameters to apply to this engine, or `null` to use no parameters.

    - #### reset

          public void reset()

      Reset the engine to the initial state (with the key and any pre-message parameters , ready to accept message input.
