public class PBEKeyAndParameterSpec

extends java.lang.Object

implements AlgorithmParameterSpec

This class is simply a combination of PBEParameterSpec and PBEKeySpec since both specs are needed when generating a SecretKey for a MAC. Typically a MAC SecretKey depends on a user specified password, a salt value and an iteration count.

Constructor Summary

PBEKeyAndParameterSpec(byte[] password, byte[] salt, int iterationCount, int derivedKeyLength)
Constructs a parameter set for password-based encryption for generating MAC secret keys.

Method Summary

int	getDerivedKeyLength() Returns the length the derived key should have.
int	getIterationCount() Returns the iteration count.
byte[]	getPassword() Returns the password.
byte[]	getSalt() Returns the salt.

Constructor Detail

PBEKeyAndParameterSpec

public PBEKeyAndParameterSpec(byte[] password,
                              byte[] salt,
                              int iterationCount,
                              int derivedKeyLength)

Constructs a parameter set for password-based encryption for generating MAC secret keys. Note that the given password and the salt are cloned before they are stored in the new MACParameterSpec object.

Parameters:

password - the password

salt - the salt

iterationCount - the iteration count

derivedKeyLength - the length the derived key should have

Method Detail

getIterationCount

public final int getIterationCount()

Returns the iteration count.

getDerivedKeyLength

public final int getDerivedKeyLength()

Returns the length the derived key should have.

getSalt

public final byte[] getSalt()

Returns the salt.

getPassword

public final byte[] getPassword()

Returns the password. Note that this method returns a reference to the password. It is the caller's responsibility to zero out the password information after it is no longer needed.
