Class IDEAEngine

java.lang.Object

org.bouncycastle.crypto.engines.IDEAEngine

All Implemented Interfaces:

BlockCipher

public class IDEAEngine
extends java.lang.Object
implements BlockCipher

A class that provides a basic International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) engine.

This implementation is based on the "HOWTO: INTERNATIONAL DATA ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM" implementation summary by Fauzan Mirza (F.U.Mirza@sheffield.ac.uk). (barring 1 typo at the end of the mulinv function!).

It can be found at ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/crypt/cryptography/symmetric/idea/

Note: This algorithm was patented in the USA, Japan and Europe. These patents expired in 2011/2012.

standard constructor.

Method Detail

init

public void init(boolean forEncryption,
        CipherParameters params)

initialise an IDEA cipher.

Specified by:

init in interface BlockCipher

Parameters:

forEncryption - whether or not we are for encryption.

params - the parameters required to set up the cipher.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the params argument is inappropriate.

getAlgorithmName

public java.lang.String getAlgorithmName()

Description copied from interface: BlockCipher

Return the name of the algorithm the cipher implements.

Specified by:

getAlgorithmName in interface BlockCipher

Returns:

the name of the algorithm the cipher implements.

getBlockSize

public int getBlockSize()

Description copied from interface: BlockCipher

Return the block size for this cipher (in bytes).

Specified by:

getBlockSize in interface BlockCipher

Returns:

the block size for this cipher in bytes.

processBlock

public int processBlock(byte[] in,
               int inOff,
               byte[] out,
               int outOff)

Description copied from interface: BlockCipher

Process one block of input from the array in and write it to the out array.

Specified by:

processBlock in interface BlockCipher

Parameters:

in - the array containing the input data.

inOff - offset into the in array the data starts at.

out - the array the output data will be copied into.

outOff - the offset into the out array the output will start at.

Returns:

the number of bytes processed and produced.

reset

public void reset()

Description copied from interface: BlockCipher

Reset the cipher. After resetting the cipher is in the same state as it was after the last init (if there was one).

Specified by:

reset in interface BlockCipher
