Method Detail

init

void init(Cipher.Mode mode,
          byte[] key,
          byte[] iv)
   throws Exception

Initialize the cipher for encryption or decryption with the given key and initialization vector

Parameters:

mode - Encrypt/Decrypt initialization

key - Key bytes

iv - Initialization vector bytes

Throws:

Exception - If failed to initialize

update

default void update(byte[] input)
             throws Exception

Performs in-place encryption or decryption on the given data.

Parameters:

input - The input/output bytes

Throws:

Exception - If failed to execute

update(byte[], int, int)

update

void update(byte[] input,
            int inputOffset,
            int inputLen)
     throws Exception

Performs in-place encryption or decryption on the given data.

Parameters:

input - The input/output bytes

inputOffset - The offset of the data in the data buffer

inputLen - The number of bytes to update - starting at the given offset

Throws:

Exception - If failed to execute

checkSupported

static boolean checkSupported(String xform,
                              int keyLength)

Parameters:

xform - The full cipher transformation - e.g., AES/CBC/NoPadding - never null/empty

keyLength - The required key length in bits - always positive

Returns:

true if the cipher transformation and required key length are supported
