LOKI is a proposed Australian alternative cipher to DES. It was first designed by L. Brown, J. Pieprzyk and J. Seberry in 1990 and later re- designed (and renamed LOKI91), with improved resistance to differential cryptanalysis, by L. Brown, M. Kwan, J. Pieprzyk and J. Seberry.

LOKI91 is a 64-bit symmetric block cipher with a 64-bit user key. See LOKI91KeyGenerator for information about weak keys.

This current version is based on special C-code obtained, under license, from The School of Computer Science, UC, UNSW. The speed gain is achieved by pre-computing the 4,096 values of the substitutions (S-Box) used by the algorithm as well as the permutations for all possible 256 input values for each of the four 8-bit blocks.

Constructor Detail

LOKI91

public LOKI91()
Constructs a LOKI91 cipher object, in the UNINITIALIZED state. This calls the Cipher constructor with implBuffering false, implPadding false and the provider set to "Cryptix".
Method Detail

getLinkStatus

public static LinkStatus getLinkStatus()
Gets an object representing the native linking status of this class.

static void ()

finalize

protected final void finalize()
Cleans up resources used by this instance, if necessary.
Overrides:
finalize in class java.lang.Object

clone

public final java.lang.Object clone()
                             throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException
Always throws a CloneNotSupportedException (cloning of ciphers is not supported for security reasons).
Overrides:
clone in class Cipher
Following copied from class: xjava.security.Cipher
Throws:
java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - if the cipher is not cloneable.

engineBlockSize

protected int engineBlockSize()
SPI: Returns the length of an input block, in bytes.
Overrides:
engineBlockSize in class Cipher
Returns:
the length in bytes of an input block for this cipher.

engineInitEncrypt

protected void engineInitEncrypt(java.security.Key key)
                          throws java.security.KeyException
SPI: Initializes this cipher for encryption, using the specified key.
Overrides:
engineInitEncrypt in class Cipher
Parameters:
key - the key to use for encryption.
Throws:
java.security.KeyException - if the key is invalid.

engineInitDecrypt

protected void engineInitDecrypt(java.security.Key key)
                          throws java.security.KeyException
SPI: Initializes this cipher for decryption, using the specified key.
Overrides:
engineInitDecrypt in class Cipher
Parameters:
key - the key to use for decryption.
Throws:
java.security.KeyException - if the key is invalid.

engineUpdate

protected int engineUpdate(byte[] in,
                           int inOffset,
                           int inLen,
                           byte[] out,
                           int outOffset)
SPI: This is the main engine method for updating data.

in and out may be the same array, and the input and output regions may overlap.

Overrides:
engineUpdate in class Cipher
Parameters:
in - the input data.
inOffset - the offset into in specifying where the data starts.
inLen - the length of the subarray.
out - the output array.
outOffset - the offset indicating where to start writing into the out array.
Returns:
the number of bytes written.
Throws:
CryptixException - if the native library is being used, and it reports an error.
