Method Detail

getInputBlockSizeback to summary
public int getInputBlockSize()

Implements org.bouncycastle.crypto.AsymmetricBlockCipher.getInputBlockSize.

Return the maximum size for an input block to this engine. For ElGamal this is always one byte less than the size of P on encryption, and twice the length as the size of P on decryption.

Returns:int

maximum size for an input block.

getOutputBlockSizeback to summary
public int getOutputBlockSize()

Implements org.bouncycastle.crypto.AsymmetricBlockCipher.getOutputBlockSize.

Return the maximum size for an output block to this engine. For ElGamal this is always one byte less than the size of P on decryption, and twice the length as the size of P on encryption.

Returns:int

maximum size for an output block.

initback to summary
public void init(boolean forEncryption, CipherParameters param)

Implements org.bouncycastle.crypto.AsymmetricBlockCipher.init.

initialise the ElGamal engine.

Parameters
forEncryption:boolean

true if we are encrypting, false otherwise.

param:CipherParameters

the necessary ElGamal key parameters.

processBlockback to summary
public byte[] processBlock(byte[] in, int inOff, int inLen)

Implements org.bouncycastle.crypto.AsymmetricBlockCipher.processBlock.

Process a single block using the basic ElGamal algorithm.

Parameters
in:byte[]

the input array.

inOff:int

the offset into the input buffer where the data starts.

inLen:int

the length of the data to be processed.

Returns:byte[]

the result of the ElGamal process.

Exceptions
DataLengthException:
the input block is too large.
