Interface Mac

All Known Implementing Classes:
  BlockCipherMac, CBCBlockCipherMac, CFBBlockCipherMac, CMac, GOST28147Mac, HMac, ISO9797Alg3Mac, OldHMac, VMPCMac

    public interface Mac

The base interface for implementations of message authentication codes (MACs).

Method Summary
`int` | `doFinal(byte[] out, int outOff)` Compute the final stage of the MAC writing the output to the out parameter.
`java.lang.String` | `getAlgorithmName()` Return the name of the algorithm the MAC implements.
`int` | `getMacSize()` Return the block size for this MAC (in bytes).
`void` | `init(CipherParameters params)` Initialise the MAC.
`void` | `reset()` Reset the MAC.
`void` | `update(byte in)` add a single byte to the mac for processing.
`void` | `update(byte[] in, int inOff, int len)`

Method Detail

### init

    void init(CipherParameters params)
              throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

  Initialise the MAC.

  Parameters:
    `params` - the key and other data required by the MAC.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the params argument is inappropriate.

### getAlgorithmName

    java.lang.String getAlgorithmName()

  Return the name of the algorithm the MAC implements.

  Returns:
    the name of the algorithm the MAC implements.

### getMacSize

    int getMacSize()

  Return the block size for this MAC (in bytes).

  Returns:
    the block size for this MAC in bytes.

### update

    void update(byte in)
                throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

  add a single byte to the mac for processing.

  Parameters:
    `in` - the byte to be processed.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if the MAC is not initialised.

### update

    void update(byte[] in,
                int inOff,
                int len)
                throws DataLengthException,
                       java.lang.IllegalStateException

  Parameters:
    `in` - the array containing the input.
    `inOff` - the index in the array the data begins at.
    `len` - the length of the input starting at inOff.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if the MAC is not initialised.
    `DataLengthException` - if there isn't enough data in in.

### doFinal

    int doFinal(byte[] out,
                int outOff)
                throws DataLengthException,
                       java.lang.IllegalStateException

  Compute the final stage of the MAC writing the output to the out parameter.

  doFinal leaves the MAC in the same state it was after the last init.

  Parameters:
    `out` - the array the MAC is to be output to.
    `outOff` - the offset into the out buffer the output is to start at.
  Throws:
    `DataLengthException` - if there isn't enough space in out.
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if the MAC is not initialised.

### reset

    void reset()

  Reset the MAC. At the end of resetting the MAC should be in the in the same state it was after the last init (if there was one).
