Enum Constant Detail

AES

public static final AliceContext.Algorithm AES

Advanced Encryption Standard as specified by NIST in FIPS 197. Also known as the Rijndael algorithm by Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen, AES is a 128-bit block cipher supporting keys of 128, 192, and 256 bits.

DES

public static final AliceContext.Algorithm DES

The Digital Encryption Standard as described in FIPS PUB 46-3

DESede

public static final AliceContext.Algorithm DESede

Triple DES Encryption (also known as DES-EDE, 3DES, or Triple-DES). Data is encrypted using the DES algorithm three separate times. It is first encrypted using the first subkey, then decrypted with the second subkey, and encrypted with the third subkey.

Method Detail

values

public static AliceContext.Algorithm[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (AliceContext.Algorithm c : AliceContext.Algorithm.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static AliceContext.Algorithm valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

toString
