Method Detail

isWeakKeyback to summary
public static boolean isWeakKey(byte[] key, int offset)

DES has 16 weak keys. This method will check if the given DES key material is weak or semi-weak. Key material that is too short is regarded as weak.

See "Applied Cryptography" by Bruce Schneier for more information.

Returns:boolean

true if the given DES key material is weak or semi-weak, false otherwise.

setOddParityback to summary
public static void setOddParity(byte[] bytes)

DES Keys use the LSB as the odd parity bit. This can be used to check for corrupt keys.

Parameters
bytes:byte[]

the byte array to set the parity on.
