Class SymmetricCipher

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ICipher, ICipherSpi

    public class SymmetricCipher
    extends AbstractCipher
    Generic cipher implementation, based on symmetric ciphers available in the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA). Also includes a Mac in the encrypted value for integrity check.

    Configuration elements:

    • provider: may be used to specify a JCA provider for the algortithms.
    • algorithm: the symmetric cipher algorithm.
    • mode: the cipher mode.
    • padding: the padding type.
    • keyGenerationSize: the size, in bits, of the keys automatically generated for this cipher.
    • mac: the MAC's algorithm.
    Since:
    5.5.0

        public void init​(org.w3c.dom.Node configuration)
                  throws PortalException
        Description copied from interface: ICipherSpi
        This method is called only once and before any other method are called. This allows the cipher to initialize itself and read any custom configuration.
        Throws:
        PortalException

                                              throws java.security.GeneralSecurityException
        Generates a key.
        Parameters:
        bitLength - the length of the key, in bits.
        algorithm - the algorithm the key will be used for.
        provider - the provider of the algorithm.
        Returns:
        the key.
        Throws:
        java.security.GeneralSecurityException

      • decrypt

        public byte[] decrypt​(byte[] encryptedValue)
                       throws InvalidEncryptedValueException
        Description copied from interface: ICipher
        Decrypts an array of bytes.
        Parameters:
        encryptedValue - the encrypted value.
        Returns:
