public final class RipeMd160
extends java.security.MessageDigest

A software based implementation of the RIPEMD-160 message digest algorithm.

A message digest algorithm represents the functionality of a one-way hash function. A hash function is a computationally efficient function, mapping binary strings (messages) of arbitrary length to binary strings (digests) of some fixed length. Theses algorithms enable the determination of a message's integrity: any change to the message will, with very high probability, result in a different message digest. This property is useful in the generation and verification of digital signatures and message authentication codes, and in the generation of random numbers.

The RIPEMD-160 message digest can process messages of up to 2^64 bits in length, and always produces a 160-bit digest. The algorithm can be described in two stages: pre-processing and hash computation. Pre-processing involves padding a message, parsing the padded message into 512-bit blocks, and setting initialization values to be used in the hash computation. The hash computation generates a message schedule from the padded message and uses that schedule, along with functions, constants, and word operations to iteratively generate a series of hash values. The final hash value generated by the hash computation is used to determine the message digest.

An instance of this algorithm can be obtained using the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA), by requesting a 'RIPEMD-160' message digest from the Entrust cryptographic service provider. This can be done using the following call:

MessageDigest.getInstance("RIPEMD-160", "Entrust");

Constructor Detail

RipeMd160

public RipeMd160()

The constructor; creates a new instance of the RIPEMD-160 message digest algorithm.

Applications should not use this constructor, instead the message digest algorithm should be requested from the appropriate JCA/JCE cryptographic service provider as follows: MessageDigest.getInstance("RIPEMD-160", "Entrust").

FIPS 140-2:

FIPS Service: Modify Object

This API is part of the logical interface to the Toolkit's FIPS 140-2 cryptographic module; use of this API causes the caller to assume the FIPS 140-2 user role and accesses the following FIPS 140-2 logical interfaces:

• status output interface (exceptions)

Method Detail

engineUpdate

protected void engineUpdate(byte[] input,
                            int offset,
                            int length)

Updates the digest using the specified array of bytes, starting at the specified offset.
