Constructor Detail

Serpent

public Serpent()

Creates a default Serpent symmetric encryption algorithm using CBC mode and PKCS5 padding.

Serpent

public Serpent(String mode,
               String padding)

Creates a default Serpent symmetric encryption algorithm using the given mode and padding style.

Parameters:

mode - Cipher mode name.

padding - Cipher padding style name.

Method Detail

getAllowedKeyLengths

public int[] getAllowedKeyLengths()

Gets an array of key lengths that are acceptable for the cipher algorithm. By convention the lengths are returned in descending sort order from longest to shortest. There are some ciphers (e.g. Blowfish) that allow key sizes to be any integral value in a range; in those cases only key sizes that are multiple of the cipher block length are returned. Thus this method always returns lengths that are acceptable, but not necessarily all possible lengths.

Overrides:

getAllowedKeyLengths in class SymmetricAlgorithm

Returns:

Array of key lengths in bits.
