Class RSApkcs1

  extended by oracle.security.crypto.core.Coder
      extended by oracle.security.crypto.core.Cipher
          extended by oracle.security.crypto.core.RSApkcs1


public final class RSApkcs1
extends Cipher

An implementation of PKCS#1 v2.0 that supports the following encryption schemes: RSAES-OAEP, and RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5. According to the specification, RSAES-OAEP is recommended for new applications, and RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5 is included only for compatiblity with existing applications and protocols. The encryption schemes are used to combine RSA encryption and decryption primitives with an encoding method. Encryption and decryption can only be done through the methods encrypt(byte[]) and decrypt(byte[]).

RSApkcs1 relies on the RSA class to perform the raw encryption/decryption operation.

For greater security, it is considered a good practice to use a given key pair with only one encryption scheme, and use a different key pair if a second scheme is to be used in a different situation.

Since:
2.0

Constructor Detail

RSApkcs1

public RSApkcs1()
Creates an uninitialized RSApkcs1 instance. To use the Cipher, it must be initialized with a Key and algorithm parameters, usually in the form of an AlgorithmIdentifier.

By default, the encoding method is PKCS #1 v1.5 for backwards compatability.

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(AlgorithmIdentifier algID,
                       Key key,
                       RandomBitsSource rbs)
                throws AlgorithmIdentifierException,
                       InvalidKeyException
This method initializes the cipher with the given AlgorithmIdentifier and then configures itself with the given key and RandomBitsSource.
Specified by:
initialize in class Cipher
Parameters:
algID - The AlgorithmIdentifier whose params will be used to configure the cipher.
key - The Key instance that will be used by the cipher internally.
rbs - The RandomBitsSource that the Cipher uses during encryption operations. If null is provided, the Cipher will call RandomBitsSource.getDefault() when it is required.
Throws:
AlgorithmIdentifierException - If the algID's OID isn't valid for the Cipher instance being initialized or if the params are not valid for the algID's OID.
InvalidKeyException - If there is a problem with the Key instance the Cipher is being initialized with.

inOff - Offset within buffer of the start of data.
len - The length of the data.
