Constructor Detail

Encryptor

public Encryptor(CryptoToken token,
                 byte[] keyID,
                 EncryptionAlgorithm alg)
          throws TokenException,
                 java.security.InvalidKeyException
Creates an Encryptor on the given CryptoToken, using the key with the given keyID and algorithm

Parameters:
token - The CryptoToken to use for encryption. The key must reside on this token.
keyID - The keyID of the key to use for encryption. This key must have been generated on this token with KeyManager.
alg - The EncryptionAlgorithm this key will be used for.
Throws:
java.security.InvalidKeyException - If no key exists on this token with this keyID.
TokenException
Method Detail

encrypt

public byte[] encrypt(byte[] plaintext)
               throws CryptoManager.NotInitializedException,
                      java.security.GeneralSecurityException,
                      InvalidBERException
Encrypts a byte array.

Parameters:
plaintext - The plaintext bytes to be encrypted.
Returns:
The ciphertext. This is actually a DER-encoded Encoding object. It contains the keyID, AlgorithmIdentifier, and the encrypted plaintext. It is compatible with the SDRResult created by NSS's SecretDecoderRing.
Throws:
CryptoManager.NotInitializedException
java.security.GeneralSecurityException
InvalidBERException
