Class DESKeySpec

All Implemented Interfaces:
KeySpec

public class DESKeySpec
extends Object
implements KeySpec

This class specifies a DES key.

Since:
1.4

Fields

Modifier and Type Field and Description
static int DES_KEY_LEN

The constant which defines the length of a DES key in bytes.

Constructors

Constructor and Description
DESKeySpec(byte[] key)

Creates a DESKeySpec object using the first 8 bytes in key as the key material for the DES key.
DESKeySpec(byte[] key, int offset)

Creates a DESKeySpec object using the first 8 bytes in key, beginning at offset inclusive, as the key material for the DES key.

Methods

Modifier and Type Method and Description
byte[] getKey()

Returns the DES key material.
static boolean isParityAdjusted(byte[] key, int offset)

Checks if the given DES key material, starting at offset inclusive, is parity-adjusted.
static boolean isWeak(byte[] key, int offset)

Checks if the given DES key material is weak or semi-weak.

DESKeySpec

public DESKeySpec(byte[] key)
           throws InvalidKeyException

Creates a DESKeySpec object using the first 8 bytes in key as the key material for the DES key.

The bytes that constitute the DES key are those between key[0] and key[7] inclusive.

Parameters:
key - the buffer with the DES key material. The first 8 bytes of the buffer are copied to protect against subsequent modification.
Throws:
NullPointerException - if the given key material is null
InvalidKeyException - if the given key material is shorter than 8 bytes.

DESKeySpec

public DESKeySpec(byte[] key,
                  int offset)
           throws InvalidKeyException

Creates a DESKeySpec object using the first 8 bytes in key, beginning at offset inclusive, as the key material for the DES key.

The bytes that constitute the DES key are those between key[offset] and key[offset+7] inclusive.

Parameters:
key - the buffer with the DES key material. The first 8 bytes of the buffer beginning at offset inclusive are copied to protect against subsequent modification.
offset - the offset in key, where the DES key material starts.
Throws:
NullPointerException - if the given key material is null
InvalidKeyException - if the given key material, starting at offset inclusive, is shorter than 8 bytes.

Methods

getKey

public byte[] getKey()

Returns the DES key material.

Returns:
the DES key material. Returns a new array each time this method is called.

isParityAdjusted

public static boolean isParityAdjusted(byte[] key,
                                       int offset)
                                throws InvalidKeyException

Checks if the given DES key material, starting at offset inclusive, is parity-adjusted.

Parameters:
key - the buffer with the DES key material.
offset - the offset in key, where the DES key material starts.
Returns:
true if the given DES key material is parity-adjusted, false otherwise.
Throws:
InvalidKeyException - if the given key material is null, or starting at offset inclusive, is shorter than 8 bytes.

isWeak

public static boolean isWeak(byte[] key,
                             int offset)
                      throws InvalidKeyException

Checks if the given DES key material is weak or semi-weak.

Parameters:
key - the buffer with the DES key material.
offset - the offset in key, where the DES key material starts.
Returns:
true if the given DES key material is weak or semi-weak, false otherwise.
Throws:
InvalidKeyException - if the given key material is null, or starting at offset inclusive, is shorter than 8 bytes.
