CipherTextSerializer

public CipherTextSerializer(byte[] cipherTextSerializedBytes)
                     throws EncryptionException

Given byte array in network byte order (i.e., big-endian order), convert it so that a CipherText can be constructed from it.

Parameters:

cipherTextSerializedBytes - A serialized CipherText object with the bytes in network byte order.

Throws:

EncryptionException - Thrown if a valid CipherText object cannot be reconstructed from the byte array.

Method Detail

asSerializedByteArray

public byte[] asSerializedByteArray()
