gnu.crypto.hash
Class Whirlpool

java.lang.Object
  extended bygnu.crypto.hash.BaseHash
      extended bygnu.crypto.hash.Whirlpool
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.lang.Cloneable, IMessageDigest

public final class Whirlpool
extends BaseHash

Whirlpool, a new 512-bit hashing function operating on messages less than 2 ** 256 bits in length. The function structure is designed according to the Wide Trail strategy and permits a wide variety of implementation trade-offs.

IMPORTANT: This implementation is not thread-safe.

Constructor Detail

Whirlpool

Trivial 0-arguments constructor.

Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
Description copied from interface: IMessageDigest

Returns a clone copy of this instance.

Specified by:
clone in interface IMessageDigest
Specified by:
clone in class BaseHash

transform

protected void transform(byte[] in,
                         int offset)
Description copied from class: BaseHash

The block digest transformation per se.

Specified by:
transform in class BaseHash
Parameters:
in - the blockSize long block, as an array of bytes to digest.
offset - the index where the data to digest is located within the input buffer.

padBuffer

protected byte[] padBuffer()
Description copied from class: BaseHash

Returns the byte array to use as padding before completing a hash operation.

Specified by:
padBuffer in class BaseHash
Returns:
the bytes to pad the remaining bytes in the buffer before completing a hash operation.

getResult

protected byte[] getResult()
Description copied from class: BaseHash

Constructs the result from the contents of the current context.

Specified by:
getResult in class BaseHash
Returns:
the output of the completed hash operation.

resetContext

protected void resetContext()
Description copied from class: BaseHash
Resets the instance for future re-use.

Specified by:
resetContext in class BaseHash

selfTest

public boolean selfTest()
Description copied from interface: IMessageDigest

A basic test. Ensures that the digest of a pre-determined message is equal to a known pre-computed value.

Specified by:
selfTest in interface IMessageDigest
Specified by:
selfTest in class BaseHash
