Class MessageDigest

java.lang.Object
javacard.security.MessageDigest
Direct Known Subclasses:
InitializedMessageDigest, MessageDigest.OneShot

public abstract class MessageDigest extends Object
The MessageDigest class is the base class for hashing algorithms. Implementations of MessageDigest algorithms must extend this class and implement all the abstract methods.

A tear or card reset event resets a MessageDigest object to the initial state (state upon construction).

Even if a transaction is in progress, update of intermediate result state in the implementation instance shall not participate in the transaction.

      Parameters:
      algorithm - the desired message digest algorithm. Valid codes listed in ALG_* constants above, for example, ALG_SHA.
      externalAccess - true indicates that the instance will be shared among multiple applet instances and that the MessageDigest instance will also be accessed (via a Shareable. interface) when the owner of the MessageDigest instance is not the currently selected applet. If true the implementation must not allocate CLEAR_ON_DESELECT transient space for internal data.
      Returns:
      the MessageDigest object instance of the requested algorithm
      Throws:
      CryptoException - with the following reason codes:

      public static final InitializedMessageDigest getInitializedMessageDigestInstance(byte algorithm, boolean externalAccess) throws CryptoException
      Creates a InitializedMessageDigest object instance of the selected algorithm.
      Parameters:
      algorithm - the desired message digest algorithm. Valid codes listed in ALG_* constants above, for example, ALG_SHA.
      externalAccess - true indicates that the instance will be shared among multiple applet instances and that the InitializedMessageDigest instance will also be accessed (via a Shareable. interface) when the owner of the InitializedMessageDigest instance is not the currently selected applet. If true the implementation must not allocate CLEAR_ON_DESELECT transient space for internal data.

    • isIntermediateMessageDigestSupported

      public static final boolean isIntermediateMessageDigestSupported(byte algorithm)

      Notes:

      Parameters:
      algorithm - the desired message digest algorithm. Valid codes listed in ALG_* constants above, for example, ALG_SHA.
      Returns:
      true if intermediate hash is supported, false otherwise

      Returns:
      the algorithm code defined above

    • doIntermediateMessageDigest

      public abstract short doIntermediateMessageDigest(byte[] outBuff, short outOffset) throws CryptoException
      Generates a hash of all/last input data. Completes and returns the hash computation after performing final operations such as padding. The data format is big-endian. Then, the MessageDigest object has the exact same internal state after the call is made as before the call. Thus, it is possible to continue the hash calculation with the exact same input data as before the call to this method.

      This method can be used for intermediate hash calculation and avoid to start a hash calculation with the same exact first input data.

      In addition to returning a short result, this method sets the result in an internal state which can be rechecked using assertion methods of the SensitiveResult class, if supported by the platform.

      Parameters:
      outBuff - the output buffer
      outOffset - the offset into the output buffer where the resulting hash value begins
      Returns:
      number of bytes of hash output in outBuff
      Throws:
      CryptoException - with the following reason codes:
      • CryptoException.ILLEGAL_USE if the related MessageDigest or InitializedMessageDigest instance does not support intermediate hash.

    • doFinal

      public abstract short doFinal(byte[] inBuff, short inOffset, short inLength, byte[] outBuff, short outOffset) throws CryptoException
      Generates a hash of all/last input data. Completes and returns the hash computation after performing final operations such as padding. The MessageDigest object is reset to the initial state after this call is made. The data format is big-endian.

      The input and output buffer data may overlap.

      In addition to returning a short result, this method sets the result in an internal state which can be rechecked using assertion methods of the SensitiveResult class, if supported by the platform.

      Parameters:
      inBuff - the input buffer of data to be hashed
      inOffset - the offset into the input buffer at which to begin hash generation
      inLength - the byte length to hash
      outBuff - the output buffer, may be the same as the input buffer
      outOffset - the offset into the output buffer where the resulting hash value begins
      Returns:
      number of bytes of hash output in outBuff
      Throws:
      CryptoException - with the following reason codes:
      • CryptoException.ILLEGAL_USE if the accumulated message length is greater than the maximum length supported by the algorithm.
    • update

      public abstract void update(byte[] inBuff, short inOffset, short inLength) throws CryptoException
      Accumulates a hash of the input data. This method requires temporary storage of intermediate results. In addition, if the input data length is not block aligned (multiple of block size) then additional internal storage may be allocated at this time to store a partial input data block. This may result in additional resource consumption and/or slow performance. This method should only be used if all the input data required for the hash is not available in one byte array. If all of the input data required for the hash is located in a single byte array, use of the doFinal() method is recommended. The doFinal() method must be called to complete processing of input data accumulated by one or more calls to the update() method. The data format is big-endian.

      Note:

      • If inLength is 0 this method does nothing.

      Parameters:
      inBuff - the input buffer of data to be hashed
      inOffset - the offset into the input buffer at which to begin hash generation
      inLength - the byte length to hash
      Throws:
      CryptoException - with the following reason codes:
      • CryptoException.ILLEGAL_USE if the accumulated message length is greater than the maximum length supported by the algorithm.
