PSSParameterSpec (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0) (original) (raw)

java.security.spec

Class PSSParameterSpec

java.lang.Object extended by java.security.spec.PSSParameterSpec

All Implemented Interfaces:

AlgorithmParameterSpec

public class PSSParameterSpec

extends Object

implements AlgorithmParameterSpec

This class specifies a parameter spec for RSA-PSS signature scheme, as defined in the PKCS#1 v2.1 standard.

Its ASN.1 definition in PKCS#1 standard is described below:

RSASSA-PSS-params ::= SEQUENCE { hashAlgorithm [0] OAEP-PSSDigestAlgorithms DEFAULT sha1, maskGenAlgorithm [1] PKCS1MGFAlgorithms DEFAULT mgf1SHA1, saltLength [2] INTEGER DEFAULT 20, trailerField [3] INTEGER DEFAULT 1 }

where

OAEP-PSSDigestAlgorithms ALGORITHM-IDENTIFIER ::= { { OID id-sha1 PARAMETERS NULL }| { OID id-sha256 PARAMETERS NULL }| { OID id-sha384 PARAMETERS NULL }| { OID id-sha512 PARAMETERS NULL }, ... -- Allows for future expansion -- }

PKCS1MGFAlgorithms ALGORITHM-IDENTIFIER ::= { { OID id-mgf1 PARAMETERS OAEP-PSSDigestAlgorithms }, ... -- Allows for future expansion -- }

Note: the PSSParameterSpec.DEFAULT uses the following: message digest -- "SHA-1" mask generation function (mgf) -- "MGF1" parameters for mgf -- MGF1ParameterSpec.SHA1 SaltLength -- 20 TrailerField -- 1

Since:

1.4

Field Detail

DEFAULT

public static final PSSParameterSpec DEFAULT

The PSS parameter set with all default values.

Constructor Detail

PSSParameterSpec

public PSSParameterSpec(String mdName, String mgfName, AlgorithmParameterSpec mgfSpec, int saltLen, int trailerField)

Creates a new PSSParameterSpec as defined in the PKCS #1 standard using the specified message digest, mask generation function, parameters for mask generation function, salt length, and trailer field values.

Parameters:

mdName - the algorithm name of the hash function.

mgfName - the algorithm name of the mask generation function.

mgfSpec - the parameters for the mask generation function. If null is specified, null will be returned by getMGFParameters().

saltLen - the length of salt.

trailerField - the value of the trailer field.

Throws:

[NullPointerException](../../../java/lang/NullPointerException.html "class in java.lang") - if mdName, or mgfName is null.

[IllegalArgumentException](../../../java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html "class in java.lang") - if saltLen or trailerField is less than 0.

Since:

1.5

PSSParameterSpec

public PSSParameterSpec(int saltLen)

Creates a new PSSParameterSpec using the specified salt length and other default values as defined in PKCS#1.

Parameters:

saltLen - the length of salt in bits to be used in PKCS#1 PSS encoding.

Throws:

[IllegalArgumentException](../../../java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html "class in java.lang") - if saltLen is less than 0.
