Enum ContentType

java.lang.Enum<ContentType>

com.amazonaws.encryptionsdk.model.ContentType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<ContentType>

public enum ContentType
extends Enum<ContentType>

This enum describes the supported types for storing the encrypted content in the message format. There are two types current currently supported: single block and frames.

The single block format stores the encrypted content in a single block wrapped with headers containing the nonce, MAC tag, and the content length.

The frame format partitions the encrypted content in multiple frames of a specified frame length. Each frame is wrapped by an header containing the frame sequence number, nonce, and the MAC tag.

Format: ContentType(byte value representing the type)

Method Detail

values

public static ContentType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ContentType c : ContentType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ContentType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getValue

public byte getValue()

Return the value used to encode this content type object in the ciphertext.

Returns:

the byte value used to encode this content type.

deserialize

public static ContentType deserialize(byte value)

Deserialize the provided byte value by returning the ContentType object representing the byte value.

Parameters:

value - the byte representing the value of the ContentType object.

Returns:

the ContentType object representing the byte value.
