gnu.crypto.hash

Class MD5

java.lang.Object

gnu.crypto.hash.BaseHash

gnu.crypto.hash.MD5

All Implemented Interfaces:

IMessageDigest, Cloneable

public class MD5
extends BaseHash

The MD5 message-digest algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input. It is conjectured that it is computationally infeasible to produce two messages having the same message digest, or to produce any message having a given prespecified target message digest.

Method Detail

clone

public Object clone()

Description copied from interface: IMessageDigest

Returns a clone copy of this instance.

Specified by:

clone in interface IMessageDigest

Specified by:

clone in class BaseHash

Returns:

a clone copy of this instance.

transform

protected void transform(byte[] in,
                         int i)

Description copied from class: BaseHash

The block digest transformation per se.

Specified by:

transform in class BaseHash

Parameters:

in - the blockSize long block, as an array of bytes to digest.

i - the index where the data to digest is located within the input buffer.

padBuffer

protected byte[] padBuffer()

Description copied from class: BaseHash

Returns the byte array to use as padding before completing a hash operation.

Specified by:

padBuffer in class BaseHash

Returns:

the bytes to pad the remaining bytes in the buffer before completing a hash operation.

getResult

protected byte[] getResult()

Description copied from class: BaseHash

Constructs the result from the contents of the current context.

Specified by:

getResult in class BaseHash

Returns:

the output of the completed hash operation.

resetContext

protected void resetContext()

Description copied from class: BaseHash

Resets the instance for future re-use.

Specified by:

resetContext in class BaseHash

selfTest

public boolean selfTest()

Description copied from interface: IMessageDigest

A basic test. Ensures that the digest of a pre-determined message is equal to a known pre-computed value.

Specified by:

selfTest in interface IMessageDigest

Specified by:

selfTest in class BaseHash

Returns:

true if the implementation passes a basic self-test. Returns false otherwise.
