gnu.crypto.hash

Class Whirlpool

Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, IMessageDigest

public final class Whirlpool
extends BaseHash

Whirlpool, a new 512-bit hashing function operating on messages less than 2 ** 256 bits in length. The function structure is designed according to the Wide Trail strategy and permits a wide variety of implementation trade-offs.

IMPORTANT: This implementation is not thread-safe.

Constructor Details

Whirlpool

public Whirlpool()
Trivial 0-arguments constructor.

Method Details

clone

public Object clone()
Returns a clone copy of this instance.
Specified by:
clone in interface IMessageDigest
Overrides:
clone in interface BaseHash

Returns:
a clone copy of this instance.


getResult

protected byte[] getResult()
Constructs the result from the contents of the current context.
Overrides:
getResult in interface BaseHash

Returns:
the output of the completed hash operation.


padBuffer

protected byte[] padBuffer()
Returns the byte array to use as padding before completing a hash operation.
Overrides:
padBuffer in interface BaseHash

Returns:
the bytes to pad the remaining bytes in the buffer before completing a hash operation.


resetContext

protected void resetContext()
Resets the instance for future re-use.
Overrides:
resetContext in interface BaseHash


selfTest

public boolean selfTest()
A basic test. Ensures that the digest of a pre-determined message is equal to a known pre-computed value.
Specified by:
selfTest in interface IMessageDigest
Overrides:
selfTest in interface BaseHash

Returns:
true if the implementation passes a basic self-test. Returns false otherwise.


transform

protected void transform(byte[] in,
                         int offset)
The block digest transformation per se.
Overrides:
transform in interface BaseHash

Parameters:
in - the blockSize long block, as an array of bytes to digest.
offset - the index where the data to digest is located within the input buffer.
