Class StringFixedSaltGenerator

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    FixedSaltGenerator, SaltGenerator

    public class StringFixedSaltGenerator
    extends Object
    implements FixedSaltGenerator

    String based implementation of FixedSaltGenerator, that will always return the same salt. This salt is returned as bytes using the specified charset for conversion (UTF-8 by default).

    If the requested salt has a size in bytes smaller than the specified salt, the first n bytes are returned. If it is larger, an exception is thrown.

    This class is thread-safe.

      byte[] generateSalt​(int lengthBytes)
      Return salt with the specified byte length.
      boolean includePlainSaltInEncryptionResults()
      As this salt generator provides a fixed salt, its inclusion unencrypted in encryption results is not necessary, and in fact not desirable (so that it remains hidden).
