Class PasswordTextEncrypter

java.lang.Object

org.refcodes.security.PasswordTextEncrypter

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.refcodes.mixin.Disposable, Encrypter<String, String, EncryptionException>

public class PasswordTextEncrypter
extends Object
implements Encrypter<String, String, EncryptionException>

The PasswordTextEncrypter is a text Encrypter for encrypting String instances with a given password using a "PBKDF2WithHmacSHA256" key factory and a "AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding" cipher. ATTENTION: THIS IMPLEMENTATION STORES AN OBFUSCATED PASSWORD AT RUNTIME!

Constructor Details

PasswordTextEncrypter

public PasswordTextEncrypter(char[] aPassword)

Constructs a PasswordTextEncrypter instance with the given password. ATTENTION: THE PROVIDED HASH_SEPARATOR ARRAY IS CLEARED (FILLED WITH ZEROS) AFTER BEING PASSED TO THIS CONSTRUCTOR!

Parameters:

aPassword - The password to be used for encryption.

PasswordTextEncrypter

public PasswordTextEncrypter(String aPassword)

Constructs a PasswordTextEncrypter instance with the given password. ATTENTION: USE A HASH_SEPARATOR ARRAY INSTEAD OF A STRING AS PASSWORD IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR PASSWORD TO HANG AROUND IN THE JVM'S STRING CACHE!

Parameters:

aPassword - The password to be used for encryption.

Method Details

toEncrypted

public String toEncrypted(String aInput)
                   throws EncryptionException

You pass in data of a given type and you get encrypted data of (another) given type.

Specified by:

toEncrypted in interface Encrypter<String, String, EncryptionException>

Parameters:

aInput - The input data to be encrypted.

Returns:

The encrypted output data.

Throws:

EncryptionException

toEncrypted

public int toEncrypted(byte[] aBuffer,
 int aOffset,
 int aLength,
 byte[] aOutBuffer,
 int aOutOffset)
                throws EncryptionException

For compatibility with the java.security framework and easily to be integrated in a sub-class of the CipherSpi.

Specified by:

toEncrypted in interface Encrypter<String, String, EncryptionException>

Parameters:

aBuffer - The input to be encrypted.

aOffset - The offset to start encryption.

aLength - The length to be encrypted

aOutBuffer - The output where to encrypt to.

aOutOffset - The offset where to start writing the encrypted output.

Returns:

The number of bytes encrypted.

Throws:

EncryptionException - Thrown in case an encryption issue occurred regarding the Encrypter. Probably the configuration of your Encrypter does not fit the one of the Decrypter.
