public class MGF1Parameters

extends PKCS1AlgorithmParameters

Algorithm parameters for the PKCS#1v2.1 MGF1 mask generation function.

According to PKCS#1v2.1 the only parameter used by MGF1 is the algorithm id of the hash algorithm (default SHA-1) to be used:

 mgf1SHA1 MaskGenAlgorithm ::= {
   algorithm id-mgf1,
   parameters HashAlgorithm : sha1
 }
 

MGF1Parameters can be generated provider independently by calling one of the AlgorithmParameters.getInstance methods. Subsequently the new AlgorithmParamters object must be initialized with a proper MGF1 parameter specification or a DER encoded byte array, e.g.:

 MGF1ParameterSpec paramSpec = ...;
 AlgorithmParameters params = AlgorithmParameters.getInstance("MGF1", "IAIK");
 params.init(paramSpec);
 

repectively:

 byte[] encodedParams = ...;
 AlgorithmParameters params = AlgorithmParameters.getInstance("MGF1", "IAIK");
 params.init(encodedParams);
 

For obtaining MGF1 parameters in transparent representation from an opaque MGF1Paramters object, the getParameterSpec method can be used; for obtaining the parameters as DER encoded ASN.1 object, use getEncoded:

 MGF1ParameterSpec paramSpec = (MGF1ParameterSpec)params.getParameterSpec(MGF1ParameterSpec.class);
 

repectively

 byte[] encodedParams = params.getEncoded();

Constructor Detail

MGF1Parameters

public MGF1Parameters()

Default constructor. Only internally used for creating a MGF1Parameters object. Applications shall use one of the AlgorithmParameters.getInstance factory methods for obtaining MGF1Parameters.

Method Detail

engineGetEncoded

protected byte[] engineGetEncoded()
                           throws IOException

Returns the parameters as DER byte array.

Overrides:

engineGetEncoded in class AlgorithmParametersSpi

Returns:

the DER encoded hash algorithm id

Throws:

IOException - if an encoding error occurs

engineGetEncoded

protected byte[] engineGetEncoded(String format)
                           throws IOException

Returns the parameters as a DER byte array.

Format is ignored. Only DER encoding is supported at this time. This method only calls engineGetEncoded(), regardless of what is specified in the format string.

Overrides:

engineGetEncoded in class AlgorithmParametersSpi

Parameters:

format - the encoding format; ignored

Returns:

the DER encoded hash algorithm id

Throws:

IOException - if an encoding error occurs

toASN1Object

public ASN1Object toASN1Object()

Gets an ASN.1 representation of this MGF1 parameters.

Returns:

the MGF1 parameter (hash algorithm id) as ASN1Object

engineGetParameterSpec

protected AlgorithmParameterSpec engineGetParameterSpec(Class paramSpec)
                                                 throws InvalidParameterSpecException

Returns the MGF1 parameters as transparent parameter specification of the given class type.

Overrides:

engineGetParameterSpec in class AlgorithmParametersSpi

Parameters:

paramSpec - the desired parameter specification class (MGF1ParameterSpec)

Returns:

the parameters as MGF1ParameterSpec

Throws:

InvalidParameterSpecException - if the paramters cannot be converted to the desired parameter specification

engineInit

protected void engineInit(AlgorithmParameterSpec paramSpec)
                   throws InvalidParameterSpecException

Initializes this MGF1Parameters from the given MGF1ParameterSpec.

Overrides:

engineInit in class AlgorithmParametersSpi

Parameters:

paramSpec - the parameter specification, which has to be a MGF1ParameterSpec

Throws:

InvalidParameterSpecException - if the given parameter specification is not a or is an invalid MGF1ParameterSpec

engineInit

protected void engineInit(byte[] params)
                   throws IOException

Initializes this MGF1Parameters object from the given DER encoded byte array.

Overrides:

engineInit in class AlgorithmParametersSpi
