Class IvParameterSpec

java.lang.Object
  javax.crypto.spec.IvParameterSpec

All Implemented Interfaces:

AlgorithmParameterSpec

public class IvParameterSpec

extends Object

implements AlgorithmParameterSpec

This class specifies an initialization vector (IV). Examples which use IVs are ciphers in feedback mode, e.g., DES in CBC mode and RSA ciphers with OAEP encoding operation.

Since:

Constructor Detail

IvParameterSpec

public IvParameterSpec(byte[] iv)

Creates an IvParameterSpec object using Uses the bytes in iv as the IV.

Parameters:

iv - the buffer with the IV. The contents of the buffer are copied to protect against subsequent modification. iv - the buffer with the IV

IvParameterSpec

public IvParameterSpec(byte[] iv,
                       int offset,
                       int len)

Creates an IvParameterSpec object using Uses the first len bytes in iv, beginning at offset inclusive, as the IV.

The bytes that constitute the IV are those between iv[offset] and iv[offset+len-1] inclusive.

Parameters:

iv - the buffer with the IV. The first len bytes of the buffer beginning at offset inclusive are copied to protect against subsequent modification. iv - the buffer with the IV

offset - the offset in iv where the IV starts. starts

len - the number of IV bytes. bytes

getIV

public byte[] getIV()

Returns the initialization vector (IV).

Returns:

the initialization vector (IV). Returns a new array each time this method is called. the initialization vector (IV)
