All Implemented Interfaces:

public class Sha160
extends BaseHash

The Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1) is required for use with the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) as specified in the Digital Signature Standard (DSS) and whenever a secure hash algorithm is required for federal applications. For a message of length less than 2^64 bits, the SHA-1 produces a 160-bit condensed representation of the message called a message digest. The message digest is used during generation of a signature for the message. The SHA-1 is also used to compute a message digest for the received version of the message during the process of verifying the signature. Any change to the message in transit will, with very high probability, result in a different message digest, and the signature will fail to verify.

The SHA-1 is designed to have the following properties: it is computationally infeasible to find a message which corresponds to a given message digest, or to find two different messages which produce the same message digest.

Method Detail

G

public static final int[] G(int hh0,
                            int hh1,
                            int hh2,
                            int hh3,
                            int hh4,
                            byte[] in,
                            int offset)

clone

public java.lang.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

transform

protected void transform(byte[] in,
                         int offset)
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.
offset - 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
