    public class Cipher
extends Object
    This class provides the functionality of a cryptographic cipher for encryption and decryption. It forms the core of the Java Cryptographic Extension (JCE) framework.

    In order to create a Cipher object, the application calls the Cipher's getInstance method, and passes the name of the requested transformation to it. Optionally, the name of a provider may be specified.

    A transformation is a string that describes the operation (or set of operations) to be performed on the given input, to produce some output. A transformation always includes the name of a cryptographic algorithm (e.g., DES), and may be followed by a feedback mode and padding scheme.

    A transformation is of the form:

    • "algorithm/mode/padding" or
    • "algorithm"

    (in the latter case, provider-specific default values for the mode and padding scheme are used). For example, the following is a valid transformation: 

         Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance("DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
    Using modes such as CFB and OFB, block ciphers can encrypt data in units smaller than the cipher's actual block size. When requesting such a mode, you may optionally specify the number of bits to be processed at a time by appending this number to the mode name as shown in the "DES/CFB8/NoPadding" and "DES/OFB32/PKCS5Padding" transformations. If no such number is specified, a provider-specific default is used. (For example, the SunJCE provider uses a default of 64 bits for DES.) Thus, block ciphers can be turned into byte-oriented stream ciphers by using an 8 bit mode such as CFB8 or OFB8.

    Modes such as Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) provide authenticity assurances for both confidential data and Additional Associated Data (AAD) that is not encrypted. (Please see RFC 5116 for more information on AEAD and AAD algorithms such as GCM/CCM.) Both confidential and AAD data can be used when calculating the authentication tag (similar to a Mac). This tag is appended to the ciphertext during encryption, and is verified on decryption.

    AEAD modes such as GCM/CCM perform all AAD authenticity calculations before starting the ciphertext authenticity calculations. To avoid implementations having to internally buffer ciphertext, all AAD data must be supplied to GCM/CCM implementations (via the updateAAD methods) before the ciphertext is processed (via the update and doFinal methods).

    Note that GCM mode has a uniqueness requirement on IVs used in encryption with a given key. When IVs are repeated for GCM encryption, such usages are subject to forgery attacks. Thus, after each encryption operation using GCM mode, callers should re-initialize the cipher objects with GCM parameters which has a different IV value. 

         GCMParameterSpec s = ...;
     cipher.init(..., s);

     // If the GCM parameters were generated by the provider, it can
     // be retrieved by:
     // cipher.getParameters().getParameterSpec(GCMParameterSpec.class);

     cipher.updateAAD(...);  // AAD
     cipher.update(...);     // Multi-part update
     cipher.doFinal(...);    // conclusion of operation

     // Use a different IV value for every encryption
     byte[] newIv = ...;
     s = new GCMParameterSpec(s.getTLen(), newIv);
     cipher.init(..., s);
     ...
    Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the following standard Cipher transformations with the keysizes in parentheses:
    • AES/CBC/NoPadding (128)
    • AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding (128)
    • AES/ECB/NoPadding (128)
    • AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding (128)
    • AES/GCM/NoPadding (128)
    • DES/CBC/NoPadding (56)
    • DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding (56)
    • DES/ECB/NoPadding (56)
    • DES/ECB/PKCS5Padding (56)
    • DESede/CBC/NoPadding (168)
    • DESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding (168)
    • DESede/ECB/NoPadding (168)

    • RSA/ECB/OAEPWithSHA-256AndMGF1Padding (1024, 2048)
    These transformations are described in the Cipher section of the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification. Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any other transformations are supported.

        Parameters:
        transformation - the name of the transformation, e.g., DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding. See the Cipher section in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard transformation names.
        Returns:

      • getIV

        public final byte[] getIV​()
        Returns the initialization vector (IV) in a new buffer.

        the parameters used with this cipher, or null if this cipher does not use any parameters.

      • init

        public final void init​(int opmode,
                       Key key)
                throws InvalidKeyException
        Initializes this cipher with a key.

        The cipher is initialized for one of the following four operations: encryption, decryption, key wrapping or key unwrapping, depending on the value of opmode.

        If this cipher requires any algorithm parameters that cannot be derived from the given key, the underlying cipher implementation is supposed to generate the required parameters itself (using provider-specific default or random values) if it is being initialized for encryption or key wrapping, and raise an InvalidKeyException if it is being initialized for decryption or key unwrapping. The generated parameters can be retrieved using getParameters or getIV (if the parameter is an IV).

        If this cipher requires algorithm parameters that cannot be derived from the input parameters, and there are no reasonable provider-specific default values, initialization will necessarily fail.

        If this cipher (including its underlying feedback or padding scheme) requires any random bytes (e.g., for parameter generation), it will get them using the SecureRandom implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness. (If none of the installed providers supply an implementation of SecureRandom, a system-provided source of randomness will be used.)

        Note that when a Cipher object is initialized, it loses all previously-acquired state. In other words, initializing a Cipher is equivalent to creating a new instance of that Cipher and initializing it.

        Parameters:
        opmode - the operation mode of this cipher (this is one of the following: ENCRYPT_MODE, DECRYPT_MODE, WRAP_MODE or UNWRAP_MODE)
        key - the key
        Throws:
        InvalidKeyException - if the given key is inappropriate for initializing this cipher, or requires algorithm parameters that cannot be determined from the given key, or if the given key has a keysize that exceeds the maximum allowable keysize (as determined from the configured jurisdiction policy files).
        UnsupportedOperationException - if opmode is WRAP_MODE or UNWRAP_MODE but the mode is not implemented by the underlying CipherSpi.

        key - the encryption key
        params - the algorithm parameters
        random - the source of randomness
        Throws:
        InvalidKeyException - if the given key is inappropriate for initializing this cipher, or its keysize exceeds the maximum allowable keysize (as determined from the configured jurisdiction policy files).
        InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - if the given algorithm parameters are inappropriate for this cipher, or this cipher requires algorithm parameters and params is null, or the given algorithm parameters imply a cryptographic strength that would exceed the legal limits (as determined from the configured jurisdiction policy files).
        UnsupportedOperationException - if opmode is WRAP_MODE or UNWRAP_MODE but the mode is not implemented by the underlying CipherSpi.

      • init

        public final void init​(int opmode,
                       Key key,
                       AlgorithmParameters params)
                throws InvalidKeyException,
                       InvalidAlgorithmParameterException
        Initializes this cipher with a key and a set of algorithm parameters.

        The cipher is initialized for one of the following four operations: encryption, decryption, key wrapping or key unwrapping, depending on the value of opmode.

        If this cipher requires any algorithm parameters and params is null, the underlying cipher implementation is supposed to generate the required parameters itself (using provider-specific default or random values) if it is being initialized for encryption or key wrapping, and raise an InvalidAlgorithmParameterException if it is being initialized for decryption or key unwrapping. The generated parameters can be retrieved using getParameters or getIV (if the parameter is an IV).

        If this cipher requires algorithm parameters that cannot be derived from the input parameters, and there are no reasonable provider-specific default values, initialization will necessarily fail.

        If this cipher (including its underlying feedback or padding scheme) requires any random bytes (e.g., for parameter generation), it will get them using the SecureRandom implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness. (If none of the installed providers supply an implementation of SecureRandom, a system-provided source of randomness will be used.)

        Note that when a Cipher object is initialized, it loses all previously-acquired state. In other words, initializing a Cipher is equivalent to creating a new instance of that Cipher and initializing it.

        Parameters:
        opmode - the operation mode of this cipher (this is one of the following: ENCRYPT_MODE, DECRYPT_MODE, WRAP_MODE or UNWRAP_MODE)
        key - the encryption key
        params - the algorithm parameters
        Throws:
        InvalidKeyException - if the given key is inappropriate for initializing this cipher, or its keysize exceeds the maximum allowable keysize (as determined from the configured jurisdiction policy files).
        InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - if the given algorithm parameters are inappropriate for this cipher, or this cipher requires algorithm parameters and params is null, or the given algorithm parameters imply a cryptographic strength that would exceed the legal limits (as determined from the configured jurisdiction policy files).
        UnsupportedOperationException - if opmode is WRAP_MODE or UNWRAP_MODE but the mode is not implemented by the underlying CipherSpi.

        Initializes this cipher with the public key from the given certificate.

        The cipher is initialized for one of the following four operations: encryption, decryption, key wrapping or key unwrapping, depending on the value of opmode.

        If the certificate is of type X.509 and has a key usage extension field marked as critical, and the value of the key usage extension field implies that the public key in the certificate and its corresponding private key are not supposed to be used for the operation represented by the value of opmode, an InvalidKeyException is thrown.

        The bytes in the input buffer are processed, and the result is stored in a new buffer.

        If input has a length of zero, this method returns null.

        Parameters:
        input - the input buffer
        Returns:
        the new buffer with the result, or null if the underlying cipher is a block cipher and the input data is too short to result in a new block.

        Continues a multiple-part encryption or decryption operation (depending on how this cipher was initialized), processing another data part.

        The first inputLen bytes in the input buffer, starting at inputOffset inclusive, are processed, and the result is stored in a new buffer.

        If inputLen is zero, this method returns null.

        Parameters:

        Continues a multiple-part encryption or decryption operation (depending on how this cipher was initialized), processing another data part.

        The first inputLen bytes in the input buffer, starting at inputOffset inclusive, are processed, and the result is stored in the output buffer.

        If the output buffer is too small to hold the result, a ShortBufferException is thrown. In this case, repeat this call with a larger output buffer. Use getOutputSize to determine how big the output buffer should be.

        If inputLen is zero, this method returns a length of zero.

        Note: this method should be copy-safe, which means the input and output buffers can reference the same byte array and no unprocessed input data is overwritten when the result is copied into the output buffer.

        Parameters:
        input - the input buffer
        inputOffset - the offset in input where the input starts
        inputLen - the input length

        Continues a multiple-part encryption or decryption operation (depending on how this cipher was initialized), processing another data part.

        All input.remaining() bytes starting at input.position() are processed. The result is stored in the output buffer. Upon return, the input buffer's position will be equal to its limit; its limit will not have changed. The output buffer's position will have advanced by n, where n is the value returned by this method; the output buffer's limit will not have changed.

        If output.remaining() bytes are insufficient to hold the result, a ShortBufferException is thrown. In this case, repeat this call with a larger output buffer. Use getOutputSize to determine how big the output buffer should be.

        Note: this method should be copy-safe, which means the input and output buffers can reference the same block of memory and no unprocessed input data is overwritten when the result is copied into the output buffer.

        Finishes a multiple-part encryption or decryption operation, depending on how this cipher was initialized.

        Input data that may have been buffered during a previous update operation is processed, with padding (if requested) being applied. If an AEAD mode such as GCM/CCM is being used, the authentication tag is appended in the case of encryption, or verified in the case of decryption. The result is stored in a new buffer.

        Note: if any exception is thrown, this cipher object may need to be reset before it can be used again.

        Returns:
        the new buffer with the result
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - if this cipher is in a wrong state (e.g., has not been initialized)
        IllegalBlockSizeException - if this cipher is a block cipher, no padding has been requested (only in encryption mode), and the total input length of the data processed by this cipher is not a multiple of block size; or if this encryption algorithm is unable to process the input data provided.
        BadPaddingException - if this cipher is in decryption mode, and (un)padding has been requested, but the decrypted data is not bounded by the appropriate padding bytes

        Note: if any exception is thrown, this cipher object may need to be reset before it can be used again.

        Note: this method should be copy-safe, which means the input and output buffers can reference the same byte array and no unprocessed input data is overwritten when the result is copied into the output buffer.

        Parameters:
        input - the input buffer
        inputOffset - the offset in input where the input starts
        inputLen - the input length
        output - the buffer for the result
        Returns:
        the number of bytes stored in output
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - if this cipher is in a wrong state (e.g., has not been initialized)
        IllegalBlockSizeException - if this cipher is a block cipher, no padding has been requested (only in encryption mode), and the total input length of the data processed by this cipher is not a multiple of block size; or if this encryption algorithm is unable to process the input data provided.
        ShortBufferException - if the given output buffer is too small to hold the result
        BadPaddingException - if this cipher is in decryption mode, and (un)padding has been requested, but the decrypted data is not bounded by the appropriate padding bytes
        AEADBadTagException - if this cipher is decrypting in an AEAD mode (such as GCM/CCM), and the received authentication tag does not match the calculated value

                         IllegalBlockSizeException,
                         BadPaddingException
        Encrypts or decrypts data in a single-part operation, or finishes a multiple-part operation. The data is encrypted or decrypted, depending on how this cipher was initialized.

        The first inputLen bytes in the input buffer, starting at inputOffset inclusive, and any input bytes that may have been buffered during a previous update operation, are processed, with padding (if requested) being applied. If an AEAD mode such as GCM/CCM is being used, the authentication tag is appended in the case of encryption, or verified in the case of decryption. The result is stored in the output buffer, starting at outputOffset inclusive.

        If the output buffer is too small to hold the result, a ShortBufferException is thrown. In this case, repeat this call with a larger output buffer. Use getOutputSize to determine how big the output buffer should be.

        Note: this method should be copy-safe, which means the input and output buffers can reference the same byte array and no unprocessed input data is overwritten when the result is copied into the output buffer.

        Parameters:

                         IllegalBlockSizeException,
                         BadPaddingException
        Encrypts or decrypts data in a single-part operation, or finishes a multiple-part operation. The data is encrypted or decrypted, depending on how this cipher was initialized.

        All input.remaining() bytes starting at input.position() are processed. If an AEAD mode such as GCM/CCM is being used, the authentication tag is appended in the case of encryption, or verified in the case of decryption. The result is stored in the output buffer. Upon return, the input buffer's position will be equal to its limit; its limit will not have changed. The output buffer's position will have advanced by n, where n is the value returned by this method; the output buffer's limit will not have changed.

        If output.remaining() bytes are insufficient to hold the result, a ShortBufferException is thrown. In this case, repeat this call with a larger output buffer. Use getOutputSize to determine how big the output buffer should be.

        Upon finishing, this method resets this cipher object to the state it was in when previously initialized via a call to init. That is, the object is reset and available to encrypt or decrypt (depending on the operation mode that was specified in the call to init) more data.
