public class DES2X
extends Cipher
implements SymmetricCipher

This class implements DES2X encryption with four independent keys. DES2X acts as a block cipher with an 8 byte block size.

The encoded form of the DESX key should be a 32-byte array, consisting of one 8-byte DES key K and three XOR keys K1, K2 and K3 in order - K, K1, K2 and K3. Encryption and decryption are done as follows:

When DES2X is used with the CBC mode class (algorithm name "DES2X/CBC"), the result is Outer-CBC, and only one IV is used.

Constructor Detail

DES2X

public DES2X()
Constructs a DES2X cipher object, in the UNINITIALIZED state. This calls the Cipher constructor with implBuffering false, implPadding false and the provider set to "Cryptix".
Method Detail

engineBlockSize

public 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

public 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 one of the following occurs:
  • key.getEncoded() == null;
  • The length of the user key array 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 one of the following occurs:
  • key.getEncoded() == null;
  • The length of the user key array 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.
