All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable

public class RipeMd160

extends iaik.security.md.AbstractMessageDigest

This class implements the RipeMd160 message digest algorithm. It produces a 160 bit digest (hence the name) and can be used as an alternative to SHA-1. Both algorithms are generally considered to be equally strong, the speed is almost identical as well. The name of the algorithm to use with getInstance() is RIPEMD160.

For a specification of the algorithm see Fast Software Encryption, LCS 1039, Springer Verlag, 1996, pp. 71-82. Also available online from http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/cosic/cosic.html.

Constructor Detail

RipeMd160

public RipeMd160()

Creates a new RipeMd160 message digest object. Applications do not use this constructor. They shall use

 MessageDigest.getInstance("RIPEMD160");

for creating a MesssageDigest object.

See Also:

MessageDigest.getInstance(java.lang.String)

Method Detail

clone

public Object clone()

Returns a clone of this RipeMd160 Object.

Overrides:

clone in class iaik.security.md.AbstractMessageDigest

Returns:

a clone of this RipeMd160 Object

engineReset

protected void engineReset()

SPI: Resets this RipeMd160 message digest object for being supplied with new data.

This method is called by engineDigest after the actual hash computation has been finished to automatically reset the message digest object for being supplied with new data for starting a new hash computation.

Overrides:

engineReset in class iaik.security.md.AbstractMessageDigest

See Also:

AbstractMessageDigest.engineDigest()

engineUpdate

protected final void engineUpdate(byte input)

SPI: Updates the data to be hashed with the specified byte.

Overrides:

engineUpdate in class MessageDigestSpi

Parameters:

input - the byte to be used for updating.

engineUpdate

protected final void engineUpdate(byte[] input,
                                  int offset,
                                  int len)

SPI: Updates the data to be hashed with the specified number of bytes, beginning at the specified offset within the given byte array.

Overrides:

engineUpdate in class MessageDigestSpi

Parameters:

input - the byte array holding the data to be used for this update operation.

offset - the offset, indicating the start position within the given byte array.

len - the number of bytes to be obtained from the given byte array, starting at the given position.

engineDigest

protected byte[] engineDigest()

b>SPI: Completes the hash computation by performing final operations such as padding. Once engineDigest has been called, the engine should be reset. Resetting is the responsibility of the engine implementor.

Overrides:

engineDigest in class MessageDigestSpi

Returns:

The computed hash value.

See Also:

AbstractMessageDigest.engineReset()

engineGetDigestLength

public int engineGetDigestLength()

SPI: Returns the length of the digest in bytes.

May not be available for applications before JDK versions >= 1.2.x.

Overrides:

engineGetDigestLength in class MessageDigestSpi

Returns:

the length of the digest in bytes.
