Package gnu.crypto.prng

Class FortunaStandalone.Generator

java.lang.Object

gnu.crypto.prng.BasePRNGStandalone

gnu.crypto.prng.FortunaStandalone.Generator

All Implemented Interfaces:

IRandomStandalone, Serializable, Cloneable

Enclosing class:

FortunaStandalone

public static class FortunaStandalone.Generator
extends BasePRNGStandalone
implements Cloneable

The Fortuna generator function. The generator is a PRNG in its own right; Fortuna itself is basically a wrapper around this generator that manages reseeding in a secure way.

Method Detail

nextByte

public final byte nextByte()

Description copied from interface: IRandomStandalone

Returns the next 8 bits of random data generated from this instance.

Specified by:

nextByte in interface IRandomStandalone

Overrides:

nextByte in class BasePRNGStandalone

Returns:

the next 8 bits of random data generated from this instance.

nextBytes

public final void nextBytes(byte[] out,
                            int offset,
                            int length)

Description copied from interface: IRandomStandalone

Fills the designated byte array, starting from byte at index offset, for a maximum of length bytes with the output of this generator instance.

Specified by:

nextBytes in interface IRandomStandalone

Overrides:

nextBytes in class BasePRNGStandalone

Parameters:

out - the placeholder to contain the generated random bytes.

offset - the starting index in out to consider. This method does nothing if this parameter is not within 0 and out.length.

length - the maximum number of required random bytes. This method does nothing if this parameter is less than 1.

addRandomByte

public final void addRandomByte(byte b)

Description copied from interface: IRandomStandalone

Supplement, or possibly replace, the random state of this PRNG with a random byte.

Implementations are not required to implement this method in any meaningful way; this may be a no-operation, and implementations may throw an UnsupportedOperationException.

Specified by:

addRandomByte in interface IRandomStandalone

Overrides:

addRandomByte in class BasePRNGStandalone

Parameters:

b - The byte to add.

addRandomBytes

public final void addRandomBytes(byte[] seed,
                                 int offset,
                                 int length)

Description copied from interface: IRandomStandalone

Supplement, or possibly replace, the random state of this PRNG with a sequence of new random bytes.

Implementations are not required to implement this method in any meaningful way; this may be a no-operation, and implementations may throw an UnsupportedOperationException.

Specified by:

addRandomBytes in interface IRandomStandalone

Overrides:

addRandomBytes in class BasePRNGStandalone

Parameters:

seed - The buffer of new random bytes to add.

offset - The offset from whence to begin reading random bytes.

length - The number of random bytes to add.

fillBlock

public final void fillBlock()

Specified by:

fillBlock in class BasePRNGStandalone

setup

public void setup(Map<String,byte[]> attributes)

Specified by:

setup in class BasePRNGStandalone
