the output length in bytes of this message digest algorithm.

blockSize

public int blockSize()
Description copied from interface: IMessageDigest

Returns the algorithm's (inner) block size in bytes.

Specified by:
blockSize in interface IMessageDigest
Returns:
the algorithm's inner block size in bytes.

update

public void update(byte b)
Description copied from interface: IMessageDigest

Continues a message digest operation using the input byte.

Specified by:
update in interface IMessageDigest
Parameters:
b - the input byte to digest.

update

public void update(byte[] b,
                   int offset,
                   int len)
Description copied from interface: IMessageDigest

Specified by:
update in interface IMessageDigest
Parameters:
b - the input block.
offset - start of meaningful bytes in input block.
len - number of bytes, in input block, to consider.

digest

public byte[] digest()
Description copied from interface: IMessageDigest
