Class NullMAC

java.lang.Object
  net.rim.device.api.crypto.AbstractMAC
      net.rim.device.api.crypto.NullMAC

All Implemented Interfaces:

MAC

public final class NullMAC
extends AbstractMAC
implements MAC

The NullMAC class implements a trivial algorithm (as in none). The methods in this class do not perform any operations on the given data. For information on cryptographic algorithms, see Crypto Algorithms.

BlackBerry API 3.6.0

Constructor Summary
	NullMAC() Creates a new NullMAC object.
	NullMAC(boolean checkMAC) Creates a new NullMAC object.

Method Summary
	boolean	checkMAC(byte[] mac, int offset) Returns true or false depending on how this object was constructed.
	String	getAlgorithm() Returns the name of this digest, "Null" since this is the null MAC.
	int	getLength() Returns the length in bytes of the MAC, zero in this case.
	int	getMAC(byte[] buffer, int offset, boolean reset) Gets the null MAC by returning zero.
	void	reset() Reinitializes the MAC.
	void	update(byte[] data, int offset, int length) Feeds more data into the MAC algorithm.

Constructor Detail

NullMAC

public NullMAC()

Creates a new NullMAC object.

Note that this will default to returning true in the checkMAC method.

NullMAC

public NullMAC(boolean checkMAC)

Creates a new NullMAC object.

This constructor takes in a boolean that will be returned by the checkMAC method. This allows for an application to define exactly how it thinks the checkMAC method should work conceptually.

Parameters:

checkMAC - The boolean that will be returned by the checkMAC method.

Method Detail

getAlgorithm

public String getAlgorithm()

Returns the name of this digest, "Null" since this is the null MAC.

Specified by:

getAlgorithm in interface MAC

Specified by:

getAlgorithm in class AbstractMAC

Returns:

A String that represents the name of the algorithm.
