Protected Constructors

protected Mac (MacSpi macSpi, Provider provider, String algorithm)

Added in API level 1

Creates a new Mac instance.

Parameters
macSpi the implementation delegate.
provider the implementation provider.
algorithm the name of the MAC algorithm.

Public Methods

public final Object clone ()

Added in API level 1

Clones this Mac instance and the underlying implementation.

Returns
  • the cloned instance.
Throws
CloneNotSupportedException if the underlying implementation does not support cloning.

public final void doFinal (byte[] output, int outOffset)

Added in API level 1

Computes the digest of this MAC based on the data previously specified in update(byte) calls and stores the digest in the specified output buffer at offset outOffset.

This Mac instance is reverted to its initial state and can be used to start the next MAC computation with the same parameters or initialized with different parameters.

Parameters
output the output buffer
outOffset the offset in the output buffer
Throws
ShortBufferException if the specified output buffer is either too small for the digest to be stored, the specified output buffer is null, or the specified offset is negative or past the length of the output buffer.
IllegalStateException if this MAC is not initialized.

public final byte[] doFinal (byte[] input)

Added in API level 1

Computes the digest of this MAC based on the data previously specified on update(byte) calls and on the final bytes specified by input (or based on those bytes only).

This Mac instance is reverted to its initial state and can be used to start the next MAC computation with the same parameters or initialized with different parameters.

Parameters
input the final bytes.
Returns
  • the generated digest.
Throws
IllegalStateException if this MAC is not initialized.

public final byte[] doFinal ()

Added in API level 1

Computes the digest of this MAC based on the data previously specified in update(byte) calls.

This Mac instance is reverted to its initial state and can be used to start the next MAC computation with the same parameters or initialized with different parameters.

Returns
  • the generated digest.
Throws
IllegalStateException if this MAC is not initialized.

public final String getAlgorithm ()

Added in API level 1

Returns the name of the MAC algorithm.

Returns
  • the name of the MAC algorithm.

public static final Mac getInstance (String algorithm, String provider)

Added in API level 1

Creates a new Mac instance that provides the specified MAC algorithm from the specified provider.

Parameters
algorithm the name of the requested MAC algorithm.
provider the name of the provider that is providing the algorithm.
Returns
  • the new Mac instance.
Throws
NoSuchAlgorithmException if the specified algorithm is not provided by the specified provider.
NoSuchProviderException if the specified provider is not available.
IllegalArgumentException if the specified provider name is null or empty.
NullPointerException if algorithm is null (instead of NoSuchAlgorithmException as in 1.4 release).

public static final Mac getInstance (String algorithm, Provider provider)

Added in API level 1

Creates a new Mac instance that provides the specified MAC algorithm from the specified provider.

Parameters
algorithm the name of the requested MAC algorithm.
provider the provider that is providing the algorithm.
Returns
  • the new Mac instance.
Throws
NoSuchAlgorithmException if the specified algorithm is not provided by the specified provider.
IllegalArgumentException if provider is null.
NullPointerException if algorithm is null (instead of NoSuchAlgorithmException as in 1.4 release).

public static final Mac getInstance (String algorithm)

Added in API level 1

Creates a new Mac instance that provides the specified MAC algorithm.

Parameters
algorithm the name of the requested MAC algorithm.
Returns
  • the new Mac instance.
Throws
NoSuchAlgorithmException if the specified algorithm is not available by any provider.
