Class IvParameterSpec

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--javax.crypto.spec.IvParameterSpec

All Implemented Interfaces:

AlgorithmParameterSpec

public class IvParameterSpec

extends Object

implements AlgorithmParameterSpec

This class specifies an initialization vector (IV). Examples which use IVs are ciphers in feedback mode, e.g., DES in CBC mode and RSA ciphers with OAEP encoding operation.

Since:

1.4

Constructor Summary
IvParameterSpec(byte[] iv)     Uses the bytes in iv as the IV.
IvParameterSpec(byte[] iv, int offset, int len)     Uses the first len bytes in iv, beginning at offset inclusive, as the IV.

 

Method Summary
byte[]	getIV()     Returns the initialization vector (IV).

Constructor Detail

 

IvParameterSpec

public IvParameterSpec(byte[] iv)

Uses the bytes in iv as the IV.

Parameters:

iv - the buffer with the IV

 

IvParameterSpec

public IvParameterSpec(byte[] iv,
                       int offset,
                       int len)

Uses the first len bytes in iv, beginning at offset inclusive, as the IV.

The bytes that constitute the IV are those between iv[offset] and iv[offset+len-1] inclusive.

Parameters:

iv - the buffer with the IV

offset - the offset in iv where the IV starts

len - the number of IV bytes

Method Detail

 

getIV

public byte[] getIV()

Returns the initialization vector (IV).

Returns:

the initialization vector (IV)
