Class TripleDesMac

java.lang.Object

javax.crypto.MacSpi

com.entrust.toolkit.security.crypto.mac.SymmetricCipherMac

com.entrust.toolkit.security.crypto.mac.TripleDesMac

public final class TripleDesMac
extends SymmetricCipherMac

A software based implementation of the DAC message authentication code algorithm that uses DESede as the underlying symmetric cipher.

By default, this algorithm produces a 64 bit MAC, however, the MAC size can be configured via algorithm parameters; the allowed MAC sizes are 16 bits to 64 bits, in 8 bit increments. The following algorithm parameter specifications are supported:

• MacParameterSpec

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

Mac.getInstance("DESedeMac", "Entrust");

Constructor Detail

TripleDesMac

public TripleDesMac()

The constructor; creates a new instance of the DESedeMac MAC algorithm.

Applications should never use this constructor, instead the MAC algorithm should be requested from the appropriate JCA/JCE cryptographic service provider as follows: Mac.getInstance("DESedeMac", "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:

• control input interface (API call)
• status output interface (exceptions)
