Interface PBEBigIntegerCleanablePasswordEncryptor

All Superinterfaces:
BigIntegerEncryptor, CleanablePasswordBased, PasswordBased, PBEBigIntegerEncryptor
All Known Implementing Classes:
PooledPBEBigIntegerEncryptor, StandardPBEBigIntegerEncryptor

public interface PBEBigIntegerCleanablePasswordEncryptor extends PBEBigIntegerEncryptor, CleanablePasswordBased

Common interface for all Password Based Encryptors which receive a BigInteger message and return a BigInteger result, and provide means to set passwords as cleanable char[] objects (instead of immutable Strings).

Important: The size of the result of encrypting a number, depending on the algorithm, may be much bigger (in bytes) than the size of the encrypted number itself. For example, encrypting a 4-byte integer can result in an encrypted 16-byte number. This can lead the user into problems if the encrypted values are to be stored and not enough room has been provided.

For a default implementation, see StandardPBEBigIntegerEncryptor.
