  +--javax.crypto.spec.DESKeySpec
All Implemented Interfaces:
KeySpec
public class DESKeySpec
extends Object
implements KeySpec

This class specifies a DES key.

Since:
1.4

 

Field Summary

static int DES_KEY_LEN
    The constant which defines the length of a DES key in bytes.
 

 

Constructor Summary

DESKeySpec(byte[] key)
    Uses the first 8 bytes in key as the key material for the DES key.
DESKeySpec(byte[] key, int offset)
    Uses the first 8 bytes in key, beginning at offset inclusive, as the key material for the DES key.
 

 

Method Summary

 byte[] getKey()
    Returns the DES key material.
static boolean isParityAdjusted(byte[] key, int offset)
    Checks if the given DES key material, starting at offset inclusive, is parity-adjusted.
static boolean isWeak(byte[] key, int offset)
    Checks if the given DES key material is weak or semi-weak.

Constructor Detail

 

DESKeySpec

public DESKeySpec(byte[] key)
           throws InvalidKeyException
Uses the first 8 bytes in key as the key material for the DES key.

The bytes that constitute the DES key are those between key[0] and key[7] inclusive.

Parameters:
key - the buffer with the DES key material.
Throws:
InvalidKeyException - if the given key material is shorter than 8 bytes.

 

DESKeySpec

public DESKeySpec(byte[] key,
                  int offset)
           throws InvalidKeyException
Uses the first 8 bytes in key, beginning at offset inclusive, as the key material for the DES key.

The bytes that constitute the DES key are those between key[offset] and key[offset+7] inclusive.

Parameters:
key - the buffer with the DES key material.
offset - the offset in key, where the DES key material starts.
Throws:
InvalidKeyException - if the given key material, starting at offset inclusive, is shorter than 8 bytes.

 

Method Detail

 

getKey

public byte[] getKey()
Returns the DES key material.

Returns:
the DES key material.

 

isParityAdjusted

public static boolean isParityAdjusted(byte[] key,
                                       int offset)
                                throws InvalidKeyException
Checks if the given DES key material, starting at offset inclusive, is parity-adjusted.

Parameters:
key - the buffer with the DES key material.
offset - the offset in key, where the DES key material starts.
Returns:
true if the given DES key material is parity-adjusted, false otherwise.
Throws:
InvalidKeyException - if the given key material, starting at offset inclusive, is shorter than 8 bytes.

 

isWeak

public static boolean isWeak(byte[] key,
                             int offset)
                      throws InvalidKeyException
Checks if the given DES key material is weak or semi-weak.

Parameters:
key - the buffer with the DES key material.
offset - the offset in key, where the DES key material starts.
Returns:
true if the given DES key material is weak or semi-weak, false otherwise.
Throws:
InvalidKeyException - if the given key material, starting at offset inclusive, is shorter than 8 bytes.
