public class Hash
extends AArrayBlob

Class used to represent an immutable 32-byte Hash value. The Hash algorithm used may depend on context. This is intended to help with type safety vs. regular Blob objects and as a useful type as a key in relevant data structures. "Companies spend millions of dollars on firewalls, encryption and secure access devices, and it's money wasted, because none of these measures address the weakest link in the security chain." - Kevin Mitnick

Method Details

wrap

public static Hash wrap(byte[] hashBytes)

Wraps the specified bytes as a Data object Warning: underlying bytes are used directly. Use only if no external references to the byte array will be retained.

Parameters:

hashBytes - Bytes to wrap (must be correct length)

Returns:

Hash wrapping the given byte array

wrap

public static Hash wrap(ABlob a)

Wraps the Blob as a Hash if possible

Parameters:

a - Any ABlob instance

Returns:

Hash instance, or null if wrong length

wrap

public static Hash wrap(AArrayBlob data)

Wraps the specified blob data as a Hash, sharing the underlying byte array.

Parameters:

data - Blob data of correct size for a Hash. Must have at least enough bytes for a Hash

Returns:

Wrapped data as a Hash

wrap

public static Hash wrap(byte[] hashBytes,
 int offset)

Wraps the specified bytes as a Data object Warning: underlying bytes are used directly. Use only if no external references to the byte array will be retained.

Parameters:

hashBytes - Byte array containing hash value

offset - Offset into byte array for start of hash value

Returns:

Hash wrapping the given byte array segment

equals

public boolean equals(Hash other)

Tests if the Hash value is precisely equal to another non-null Hash value.

Parameters:

other - Hash to compare with

Returns:

true if Hashes are equal, false otherwise.

firstInt

public int firstInt()

Get the first 32 bits of this Hash. Used for Java hashCodes

Returns:

Int representing the first 32 bits

fromHex

public static Hash fromHex(String hexString)

Constructs a Hash object from a hex string

Parameters:

hexString - Hex String

Returns:

Hash with the given hex string value, or null is String is not valid

wrap

public static Hash wrap(AArrayBlob data,
 int offset,
 int length)

compute

public static Hash compute(ACell value)

Computes the Hash for any ACell value. May return a cached Hash if available in memory.

Parameters:

value - Any Cell

Returns:

Hash of the encoded data for the given value

readRaw

public static Hash readRaw(ByteBuffer bb)

Reads a Hash from a ByteBuffer Assumes no Tag or count, i.e. just Hash.LENGTH for the hash is read.

Parameters:

bb - ByteBuffer to read from

Returns:

Hash object read from ByteBuffer

encode

public int encode(byte[] bs,
 int pos)

Description copied from class: ACell

Writes this Cell's encoding to a byte array, including a tag byte which will be written first. Cell must be canonical, or else an error may occur.

Specified by:

encode in interface IWriteable

Specified by:

encode in class ACell

Parameters:

bs - A byte array to which to write the encoding

pos - The offset into the byte array

Returns:

New position after writing

isCanonical

public boolean isCanonical()

Description copied from class: ACell

Returns true if this Cell is in a canonical representation for message writing. Non-canonical objects may be used on a temporary internal basis, they must always be converted to canonical representations for external use (e.g. Encoding).

Specified by:

isCanonical in class ACell

Returns:

true if the object is in canonical format, false otherwise

toCanonical

public Blob toCanonical()

Description copied from class: ACell

Converts this Cell to its canonical version. Returns this Cell if already canonical, may be O(n) in size of value otherwise.

Specified by:

toCanonical in class ABlob

Returns:

Canonical version of Cell

estimatedEncodingSize

public int estimatedEncodingSize()

Description copied from interface: IWriteable

Estimate the encoded data size for this Cell. Used for quickly sizing buffers. Implementations should try to return a size that is likely to contain the entire object when represented in binary format, including the tag byte.

Returns:

The estimated size for the binary representation of this object.

getEncodingLength

public long getEncodingLength()

Description copied from class: ACell

Method to calculate the encoding length of a Cell. May be overridden to avoid creating encodings during memory size calculations. This reduces hashing!

Overrides:

getEncodingLength in class ACell

Returns:

Exact encoding length of this Cell

getChunk

public Blob getChunk(long i)

Description copied from class: ABlob

Gets a chunk of this Blob, as a canonical Blob up to the maximum chunk size. Returns empty Blob if and only if referencing the end of a Blob with fully packed chunks

Specified by:

getChunk in class ABlob

Parameters:

i - Index of chunk

Returns:

A Blob containing the specified chunk data.

validateCell

public void validateCell()
                  throws InvalidDataException

Description copied from class: ACell

Validates the local structure and invariants of this cell. Called by validate() super implementation. Should validate directly contained data, but should not validate all other structure of this cell. In particular, should not traverse potentially missing child Refs.

Overrides:

validateCell in class AArrayBlob

Throws:

InvalidDataException - If the Cell is invalid

isEmbedded

public boolean isEmbedded()

Description copied from class: ACell

Determines if this Cell Represents an embedded object. Embedded objects are encoded directly into the encoding of the containing Cell (avoiding the need for a hashed reference). Subclasses should override this if they have a cheap O(1) way to determine if they are embedded or otherwise.

Overrides:

isEmbedded in class ACell

Returns:

true if Cell is embedded, false otherwise

getTag

public byte getTag()

Description copied from class: ACell

Gets the tag byte for this cell. The tag byte is always written as the first byte of the Cell's Encoding

Specified by:

getTag in class ACell

Returns:

Tag byte for this Cell
