Bouncy Castle Provider 1.77 · org.bouncycastle.crypto.agreement.jpake.JPAKEPrimeOrderGroup

A pre-computed prime order group for use during a J-PAKE exchange.

Typically a Schnorr group is used. In general, J-PAKE can use any prime order group that is suitable for public key cryptography, including elliptic curve cryptography.

See JPAKEPrimeOrderGroups for convenient standard groups.

NIST publishes many groups that can be used for the desired level of security.

public JPAKEPrimeOrderGroup(BigInteger p, BigInteger q, BigInteger g) Constructs a new `JPAKEPrimeOrderGroup`. In general, you should use one of the pre-approved groups from `JPAKEPrimeOrderGroups`, rather than manually constructing one. The following basic checks are performed: p-1 must be evenly divisible by q g must be in [2, p-1] g^q mod p must equal 1 p must be prime (within reasonably certainty) q must be prime (within reasonably certainty) The prime checks are performed using `BigInteger#isProbablePrime(int)`, and are therefore subject to the same probability guarantees. These checks prevent trivial mistakes. However, due to the small uncertainties if p and q are not prime, advanced attacks are not prevented. Use it at your own risk.

public JPAKEPrimeOrderGroup(BigInteger p, BigInteger q, BigInteger g)

Constructs a new JPAKEPrimeOrderGroup.

In general, you should use one of the pre-approved groups from JPAKEPrimeOrderGroups, rather than manually constructing one.

The following basic checks are performed:

p-1 must be evenly divisible by q
g must be in [2, p-1]
g^q mod p must equal 1
p must be prime (within reasonably certainty)
q must be prime (within reasonably certainty)

The prime checks are performed using BigInteger#isProbablePrime(int), and are therefore subject to the same probability guarantees.

These checks prevent trivial mistakes. However, due to the small uncertainties if p and q are not prime, advanced attacks are not prevented. Use it at your own risk.

Exceptions

NullPointerException:: if any argument is null
IllegalArgumentException:: if any of the above validations fail

JPAKEPrimeOrderGroup	back to summary
pack-priv JPAKEPrimeOrderGroup(BigInteger p, BigInteger q, BigInteger g, boolean skipChecks) Internal package-private constructor used by the pre-approved groups in `JPAKEPrimeOrderGroups`. These pre-approved groups can avoid the expensive checks.
