Class MD2

java.lang.Object

gnu.crypto.hash.BaseHash

gnu.crypto.hash.MD2

All Implemented Interfaces:

IMessageDigest, java.lang.Cloneable

public class MD2
extends BaseHash

An implementation of the MD2 message digest algorithm.

MD2 is not widely used. Unless it is needed for compatibility with existing systems, it is not recommended for use in new applications.

Constructor Detail

MD2

public MD2()

Creates a new MD2 digest ready for use.

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

Returns:

a clone copy of this instance.

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

Returns:

true if the implementation passes a basic self-test. Returns false otherwise.

padBuffer

protected byte[] padBuffer()

Generates an array of padding bytes. The padding is defined as i bytes of value i, where i is the number of bytes to fill the last block of the message to BLOCK_LENGTH bytes (or BLOCK_LENGTH bytes when the last block was completely full).

Specified by:

padBuffer in class BaseHash

Returns:

the bytes to pad the remaining bytes in the buffer before completing a hash operation.

transform

protected void transform(byte[] in,
                         int off)

Adds BLOCK_LENGTH bytes to the running digest.

Specified by:

transform in class BaseHash

Parameters:

in - the byte array to take the BLOCK_LENGTH bytes from.

off - the offset to start from in the given byte array.
