All Implemented Interfaces:
KeySpec

public class DESedeKeySpec
extends Object
implements KeySpec

This class specifies a DES-EDE ("triple-DES") key.

Since:
1.4

Field Summary
static int DES_EDE_KEY_LEN
          The constant which defines the length of a DESede key in bytes.
 
Constructor Summary
DESedeKeySpec(byte[] key)
          Uses the first 24 bytes in key as the DES-EDE key.
DESedeKeySpec(byte[] key, int offset)
          Uses the first 24 bytes in key, beginning at offset inclusive, as the DES-EDE key.
 
Method Summary
 byte[] getKey()
          Returns the DES-EDE key.
static boolean isParityAdjusted(byte[] key, int offset)
          Checks if the given DES-EDE key, starting at offset inclusive, is parity-adjusted.

Constructor Detail

DESedeKeySpec

public DESedeKeySpec(byte[] key)
              throws InvalidKeyException
Uses the first 24 bytes in key as the DES-EDE key.

The bytes that constitute the DES-EDE key are those between key[0] and key[23] inclusive

Parameters:
key - the buffer with the DES-EDE key material.
Throws:
InvalidKeyException - if the given key material is shorter than 24 bytes.

DESedeKeySpec

public DESedeKeySpec(byte[] key,
                     int offset)
              throws InvalidKeyException
Uses the first 24 bytes in key, beginning at offset inclusive, as the DES-EDE key.

The bytes that constitute the DES-EDE key are those between key[offset] and key[offset+23] inclusive.

Parameters:
key - the buffer with the DES-EDE key material.
offset - the offset in key, where the DES-EDE key material starts.
Throws:
InvalidKeyException - if the given key material, starting at offset inclusive, is shorter than 24 bytes
Method Detail

getKey

public byte[] getKey()
Returns the DES-EDE key.

Returns:
the DES-EDE key

isParityAdjusted

public static boolean isParityAdjusted(byte[] key,
                                       int offset)
                                throws InvalidKeyException
Checks if the given DES-EDE key, starting at offset inclusive, is parity-adjusted.

Parameters:
key - a byte array which holds the key value
offset - the offset into the byte array
Returns:
true if the given DES-EDE key is parity-adjusted, false otherwise
Throws:
InvalidKeyException - if the given key material, starting at offset inclusive, is shorter than 24 bytes
