Class BlowfishEncrypt

java.lang.Object

com.sptci.util.Encrypt

com.sptci.util.BlowfishEncrypt

public class BlowfishEncrypt
extends Encrypt

A utility class used to implement Blowfish encryption and decryption of strings.

The following shows sample use of this class:

   import com.sptci.util.BlowfishEncrypt;

     ...
     BlowfishEncrypt bf = new BlowfishEncrypt();
     String secret = "my secret value";
     String key = "my secret key";
     byte[] encrypted = bf.encrypt( key, secret );
     ...
     String mysecret = bf.decrypt( key, encrypted );

Constructor Detail

BlowfishEncrypt

public BlowfishEncrypt()

Default constructor. Create a new instance of the encrypter which uses keys of length Encrypt.KEY_LENGTH.

BlowfishEncrypt

public BlowfishEncrypt(int length)

Designated constructor. Create a new instance that uses the specified key length.

Parameters:

length - The length of the key to use for encryption and decryption

Method Detail

crypt

protected byte[] crypt(String key,
                       byte[] value,
                       int mode)
                throws InvalidKeyException,
                       BadPaddingException,
                       RuntimeException

Encrypt/decrypt the specified value using the specified key.

Specified by:

crypt in class Encrypt

Parameters:

key - The key to use to encrypt the value.

value - The value that is to be encrypted or decrypted.

mode - The operation mode of this cipher (this is one of the following: Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, Cipher.WRAP_MODE or Cipher.UNWRAP_MODE).

Returns:

The encrypted bytes.

Throws:

InvalidKeyException - If the given key is inappropriate for initializing the Cipher, or its keysize exceeds the maximum allowable keysize (as determined from the configured jurisdiction policy files).

BadPaddingException - Declared in underlying implementation but never raised in this method.

RuntimeException - If IllegalBlockSizeException, NoSuchPaddingException, NoSuchAlgorithmException are raised while encrypting or decrypting.
