All Implemented Interfaces:

IPad

public final class PKCS7

extends BasePad

The implementation of the PKCS7 padding algorithm.

This algorithm is described for 8-byte blocks in [RFC-1423] and extended to block sizes of up to 256 bytes in [PKCS-7].

Method Summary

byte[]	pad(byte[] in, int offset, int length) Returns the byte sequence that should be appended to the designated input.
void	setup() If any additional checks or resource setup must be done by the subclass, then this is the hook for it.
int	unpad(byte[] in, int offset, int length) Returns the number of bytes to discard from a designated input buffer.

Method Detail

setup

public void setup()

Description copied from class: BasePad

If any additional checks or resource setup must be done by the subclass, then this is the hook for it. This method will be called before the BasePad.init(int) method returns.

Specified by:

setup in class BasePad

pad

public byte[] pad(byte[] in,
                  int offset,
                  int length)

Description copied from interface: IPad

Returns the byte sequence that should be appended to the designated input.

Specified by:

pad in interface IPad

Specified by:

pad in class BasePad

Parameters:

in - the input buffer containing the bytes to pad.

offset - the starting index of meaningful data in in.

length - the number of meaningful bytes in in.

Returns:

the possibly 0-byte long sequence to be appended to the designated input.

unpad

public int unpad(byte[] in,
                 int offset,
                 int length)
          throws WrongPaddingException

Description copied from interface: IPad

Returns the number of bytes to discard from a designated input buffer.

Specified by:

unpad in interface IPad

Specified by:

unpad in class BasePad

Parameters:

in - the input buffer containing the bytes to unpad.

offset - the starting index of meaningful data in in.

length - the number of meaningful bytes in in.

Returns:

the number of bytes to discard, to the left of index position offset + length in in. In other words, if the return value of a successful invocation of this method is result, then the unpadded byte sequence will be offset + length - result bytes in in, starting from index position offset.

Throws:

WrongPaddingException - if the data is not terminated with the expected padding bytes.
