Class MessageDigest

java.lang.Object
  javacard.security.MessageDigest

public abstract class MessageDigest

extends Object

The MessageDigest class is the base class for hashing algorithms. Implementations of MessageDigest algorithms must extend this class and implement all the abstract methods.

A tear or card reset event resets a MessageDigest object to the initial state (state upon construction).

Even if a transaction is in progress, update of intermediate result state in the implementation instance shall not participate in the transaction.

Field Summary

static byte	ALG_MD5 Message Digest algorithm MD5.
static byte	ALG_RIPEMD160 Message Digest algorithm RIPE MD-160.
static byte	ALG_SHA Message Digest algorithm SHA.

Constructor Summary

MessageDigest() Protected Constructor

Method Summary

abstract short	doFinal(byte[] inBuff, short inOffset, short inLength, byte[] outBuff, short outOffset) Generates a hash of all/last input data.
abstract byte	getAlgorithm() Gets the Message digest algorithm.
static MessageDigest	getInstance(byte algorithm, boolean externalAccess) Creates a MessageDigest object instance of the selected algorithm.
abstract byte	getLength() Returns the byte length of the hash.
abstract void	reset() Resets the MessageDigest object to the initial state for further use.
abstract void	update(byte[] inBuff, short inOffset, short inLength) Accumulates a hash of the input data.

Method Detail

update

public abstract void update(byte[] inBuff,
                            short inOffset,
                            short inLength)

Accumulates a hash of the input data. This method requires temporary storage of intermediate results. In addition, if the input data length is not block aligned (multiple of block size) then additional internal storage may be allocated at this time to store a partial input data block. This may result in additional resource consumption and/or slow performance. This method should only be used if all the input data required for the hash is not available in one byte array. If all of the input data required for the hash is located in a single byte array, use of the doFinal() method is recommended. The doFinal() method must be called to complete processing of input data accumulated by one or more calls to the update() method.

Note:

• If inLength is 0 this method does nothing.

Parameters:

inBuff - the input buffer of data to be hashed

inOffset - the offset into the input buffer at which to begin hash generation

inLength - the byte length to hash

doFinal(byte[], short, short, byte[], short)

getInstance

public static final MessageDigest getInstance(byte algorithm,
                                              boolean externalAccess)
                                       throws CryptoException

Creates a MessageDigest object instance of the selected algorithm.

Parameters:

algorithm - the desired message digest algorithm. Valid codes listed in ALG_ .. constants above, for example, ALG_SHA.

externalAccess - true indicates that the instance will be shared among multiple applet instances and that the MessageDigest instance will also be accessed (via a Shareable. interface) when the owner of the MessageDigest instance is not the currently selected applet. If true the implementation must not allocate CLEAR_ON_DESELECT transient space for internal data.

Returns:

the MessageDigest object instance of the requested algorithm

Throws:

CryptoException - with the following reason codes:

• CryptoException.NO_SUCH_ALGORITHM if the requested algorithm or shared access mode is not supported.

doFinal

public abstract short doFinal(byte[] inBuff,
                              short inOffset,
                              short inLength,
                              byte[] outBuff,
                              short outOffset)

Generates a hash of all/last input data. Completes and returns the hash computation after performing final operations such as padding. The MessageDigest object is reset to the initial state after this call is made.

The input and output buffer data may overlap.

Parameters:

inBuff - the input buffer of data to be hashed

inOffset - the offset into the input buffer at which to begin hash generation

inLength - the byte length to hash

outBuff - the output buffer, may be the same as the input buffer

outOffset - the offset into the output buffer where the resulting hash value begins

Returns:

number of bytes of hash output in outBuff

getAlgorithm

public abstract byte getAlgorithm()

Gets the Message digest algorithm.

Returns:

the algorithm code defined above

reset

public abstract void reset()

Resets the MessageDigest object to the initial state for further use.

getLength

public abstract byte getLength()

Returns the byte length of the hash.

Returns:

hash length
