Class CryptoException

  • public class CryptoException
extends CardRuntimeException
    CryptoException represents a cryptography-related exception.

    The API classes throw Java Card runtime environment-owned instances of CryptoException.

    Java Card runtime environment-owned instances of exception classes are temporary Java Card runtime environment Entry Point Objects and can be accessed from any applet context. References to these temporary objects cannot be stored in class variables or instance variables or array components.

    • Field Summary

      Fields 
      Modifier and Type Field Description
      static short ILLEGAL_USE
      This reason code is used to indicate that the signature or cipher algorithm does not pad the incoming message and the input message is not block aligned.
      static short ILLEGAL_VALUE
      This reason code is used to indicate that one or more input parameters is out of allowed bounds.
      static short INVALID_INIT
      This reason code is used to indicate that the signature or cipher object has not been correctly initialized for the requested operation.
      static short NO_SUCH_ALGORITHM
      This reason code is used to indicate that the requested algorithm or key type is not supported.
      static short UNINITIALIZED_KEY
      This reason code is used to indicate that the key is uninitialized.

      • ILLEGAL_VALUE

        public static final short ILLEGAL_VALUE
        This reason code is used to indicate that one or more input parameters is out of allowed bounds.

        Constant Field Values

      • UNINITIALIZED_KEY

        public static final short UNINITIALIZED_KEY
        This reason code is used to indicate that the key is uninitialized.
        See Also:
        Constant Field Values

      • NO_SUCH_ALGORITHM

        public static final short NO_SUCH_ALGORITHM
        This reason code is used to indicate that the requested algorithm or key type is not supported.
        See Also:
        Constant Field Values

      • INVALID_INIT

        public static final short INVALID_INIT
        This reason code is used to indicate that the signature or cipher object has not been correctly initialized for the requested operation.
        See Also:
        Constant Field Values

      • ILLEGAL_USE

        public static final short ILLEGAL_USE
        This reason code is used to indicate that the signature or cipher algorithm does not pad the incoming message and the input message is not block aligned. This reason code is also used to indicate the method cannot be used because of the configured algorithm or because a consistency check failed.

    • Constructor Detail

      • CryptoException

        public CryptoException​(short reason)
        Constructs a CryptoException with the specified reason. To conserve on resources use throwIt() to use the Java Card runtime environment-owned instance of this class.
        Parameters:
        reason - the reason for the exception

    • Method Detail

      • throwIt

        public static void throwIt​(short reason)
        Throws the Java Card runtime environment-owned instance of CryptoException with the specified reason.

        Java Card runtime environment-owned instances of exception classes are temporary Java Card runtime environment Entry Point Objects and can be accessed from any applet context. References to these temporary objects cannot be stored in class variables or instance variables or array components. See Runtime Environment Specification, Java Card Platform, Classic Edition, section 6.2.1 for details.

        Parameters:
        reason - the reason for the exception
        Throws:
        CryptoException - always
