Constructor Detail

AESKeySpec

public AESKeySpec(byte[] key)
           throws java.security.InvalidKeyException

Uses the bytes in key as the key material for the AES key.

The bytes that constitute the AES key are those between key[0] and key[key.length - 1] inclusive.

Parameters:

key - the buffer with the AES key material.

Throws:

java.security.InvalidKeyException - if the given key material is not 16, 24, or 32 bytes.

AESKeySpec

public AESKeySpec(byte[] key,
          int offset,
          int len)
           throws java.security.InvalidKeyException

Uses the bytes in key, beginning at offset inclusive, as the key material for the AES key.

The bytes that constitute the AES key are those between key[offset] and key[offset+len-1] inclusive.

Parameters:

key - the buffer with the AES key material.

offset - the offset in key, where the DES key material starts.

Throws:

java.security.InvalidKeyException - if the given key material, starting at offset inclusive, is not 16, 24, or 32 bytes.

AlgorithmStatus.isFipsApproved()

getKey

public byte[] getKey()

Returns the AES key material.

Returns:

the AES key material.

Throws:

FIPSRuntimeException - if SelfTest.isFipsRunnable returns false.
