public Interface CipherInformation

Known Direct Subinterfaces: org.apache.sshd.common.cipher.Cipher, org.apache.sshd.common.cipher.CipherFactory
Imports: org.apache.sshd.common.AlgorithmNameProvider, org.apache.sshd.common.keyprovider.KeySizeIndicator

The reported algorithm name refers to the cipher base name - e.g., "AES", "ARCFOUR", etc.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
public int	Returns: Size of the authentication tag (AT) in bytes or 0 if this cipher does not support authentication getAuthenticationTagSize()
public int	Returns: Size of block data used by the cipher (in bytes). For stream ciphers this value is (currently) used to indicate some average work buffer size to be used for the automatic re-keying mechanism described in RFC 4253 - Section 9 getCipherBlockSize()
public int	Returns: Size of the initialization vector (in bytes) getIVSize()
public int	Returns: The block size (in bytes) used to derive the secret key for this cipher getKdfSize()
public String	Returns: The actual transformation used - e.g., AES/CBC/NoPadding getTransformation()
