**javacardx.crypto** ====Class Cipher ==== *[[javacard:java-card-api:object|java.lang.Object]] \\ ---- public abstract class **Cipher**extends [[javacard:java-card-api:Object|Object]] The Cipher class is the abstract base class for Cipher algorithms. Implementations of Cipher algorithms must extend this class and implement all the abstract methods. The term "pad" is used in the public key cipher algorithms below to refer to all the operations specified in the referenced scheme to transform the message block into the cipher block size. The asymmetric key algorithms encrypt using either a public key (to cipher) or a private key (to sign). In addition they decrypt using the either a private key (to decipher) or a public key (to verify). A tear or card reset event resets an initialized Cipher object to the state it was in when previously initialized via a call to init(). For algorithms which support keys with transient key data sets, such as DES, triple DES and AES, and Korean SEED the Cipher object key becomes uninitialized on clear events associated with the Key object used to initialize the Cipher object. Even if a transaction is in progress, update of intermediate result state in the implementation instance shall not participate in the transaction. Note: \\ *//On a tear or card reset event, the AES, DES, triple DES and Korean SEED algorithms in CBC mode reset the initial vector(IV) to 0. The initial vector(IV) can be re-initialized using the //init(Key, byte, byte[], short, short)// method.// \\ ---- ^ Field Summary ^^ | **static byte** |
