Class CTR

Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, IBlockCipher, IMode

public class CTR
extends BaseMode
implements Cloneable

The implementation of the Counter Mode.

The algorithm steps are formally described as follows:

     CTR Encryption: O[j] = E(K)(T[j]); for j = 1, 2...n;
                     C[j] = P[j] ˆ O[j]; for j = 1, 2...n.
     CTR Decryption: O[j] = E(K)(T[j]); for j = 1, 2...n;
                     P[j] = C[j] ˆ O[j]; for j = 1, 2...n.
 

where P is the plaintext, C is the ciphertext, E(K) is the underlying block cipher encryption function parametrised with the session key K, and T is the Counter.

This implementation, uses a standard incrementing function with a step of 1, and an initial value similar to that described in the NIST document.

Method Details

blockSizes

public Iterator<E> blockSizes()
Returns an Iterator over the supported block sizes. Each element returned by this object is an Integer.

The default behaviour is to return an iterator with just one value, which is that currently configured for the underlying block cipher. Concrete implementations may override this behaviour to signal their ability to support other values.

Specified by:
blockSizes in interface IBlockCipher
Overrides:
blockSizes in interface BaseMode
Returns:
an Iterator over the supported block sizes.

clone

public Object clone()
Returns a clone of this instance.
Specified by:
clone in interface IBlockCipher
Overrides:
clone in interface BaseMode
Returns:
a clone copy of this instance.

decryptBlock

public void decryptBlock(byte[] in,
                         int i,
                         byte[] out,
                         int o)
Decrypts exactly one block of ciphertext.
Specified by:
decryptBlock in interface IBlockCipher
Overrides:
decryptBlock in interface BaseMode
Parameters:
in - the plaintext.
out - the ciphertext.
Throws:
IllegalStateException - if the instance is not initialised.

encryptBlock

public void encryptBlock(byte[] in,
                         int i,
                         byte[] out,
                         int o)
Encrypts exactly one block of plaintext.
Specified by:
encryptBlock in interface IBlockCipher
Overrides:
encryptBlock in interface BaseMode
Parameters:
in - the plaintext.
out - the ciphertext.
Throws:
IllegalStateException - if the instance is not initialised.

setup

public void setup()
The initialisation phase of the concrete mode implementation.
Overrides:
setup in interface BaseMode

teardown

public void teardown()
The termination phase of the concrete mode implementation.
Overrides:
teardown in interface BaseMode
