Field Detail

### DES_KEY_LENGTH

    public static final int DES_KEY_LENGTH

Constructor Detail

### DESParameters

    public DESParameters(byte[] key)

Method Detail

### isWeakKey

    public static boolean isWeakKey(byte[] key,
                                    int offset)

  DES has 16 weak keys. This method will check if the given DES key material is weak or semi-weak. Key material that is too short is regarded as weak.

  See "Applied Cryptography" by Bruce Schneier for more information.

  Returns:
    true if the given DES key material is weak or semi-weak, false otherwise.

### setOddParity

    public static void setOddParity(byte[] bytes)

  DES Keys use the LSB as the odd parity bit. This can be used to check for corrupt keys.

  Parameters:
    `bytes` - the byte array to set the parity on.
