public class NullCipher
extends Cipher

The NullCipher class is a class that provides an "identity cipher" -- one that does not transform the plaintext. As a consequence, the ciphertext is identical to the plaintext. All initialization methods do nothing, while the blocksize is set to 1 byte.

Method Detail

init

public void init(int opmode,
                 Key key)
          throws InvalidKeyException
Description copied from class: Cipher

Initializes this cipher with a key. The cipher is initialized for encryption or decryption, depending on the value of opmode.

If this cipher requires an initialization vector (IV), it will get it from a system-provided source of randomness. The random IV can be retrieved using getIV. This behaviour should only be used in encryption mode, however. When initializing a cipher that requires an IV for decryption, the IV (same IV that was used for encryption) must be provided explicitly as a parameter, in order to get the correct result.

Note that when a Cipher object is initialized, it loses all previously-acquired state. In other words, initializing a Cipher is equivalent to creating a new instance of that Cipher, and initializing it.

Overrides:
init in class Cipher
Tags copied from class: Cipher
Parameters:
opmode - the operation mode of this cipher (this is either ENCRYPT_MODE or DECRYPT_MODE)
key - the key
Throws:
InvalidKeyException - if the given key is inappropriate for initializing this cipher

Description copied from class: Cipher

Initializes this cipher with a key, a set of algorithm parameters, and a source of randomness.

The cipher is initialized for encryption or decryption, depending on the value of opmode.

If this cipher (including its underlying feedback or padding scheme) requires any random bytes, it will get them from random.

                  throws IllegalStateException
Description copied from class: Cipher

Returns the length in bytes that an output buffer would need to be in order to hold the result of the next update or doFinal operation, given the input length inputLen (in bytes).

This call takes into account any unprocessed (buffered) data from a previous update call, and padding.

getIV

public byte[] getIV()
Description copied from class: Cipher

Returns the initialization vector (IV) in a new buffer.

This is useful in the case where a random IV has been created (see init), or in the context of password-based encryption or decryption, where the IV is derived from a user-provided passphrase.

Overrides:
getIV in class Cipher
Tags copied from class: Cipher
Returns:
the initialization vector in a new buffer, or null if the underlying algorithm does not use an IV, or if the IV has not yet been set.

Description copied from class: Cipher

Continues a multiple-part encryption or decryption operation (depending on how this cipher was initialized), processing another data part.

inputLen - the input length
Returns:

public int update(byte[] input,
                  int inputOffset,
                  int inputLen,

           throws IllegalStateException,
                  ShortBufferException
Description copied from class: Cipher

Continues a multiple-part encryption or decryption operation (depending on how this cipher was initialized), processing another data part.

The first inputLen bytes in the input buffer, starting at inputOffset, are processed, and the result is stored in the output buffer.

If the output buffer is too small to hold the result, a ShortBufferException is thrown. In this case, repeat this call with a larger output buffer. Use getOutputSize to determine how big the output buffer should be.

Overrides:
update in class Cipher
Tags copied from class: Cipher
Parameters:
input - the input buffer
