Package org.bouncycastle.crypto.hpke

Class HPKEContext

java.lang.Object

org.bouncycastle.crypto.hpke.HPKEContext

Direct Known Subclasses:

HPKEContextWithEncapsulation

public class HPKEContext
extends java.lang.Object

An HPKE encryption / decryption context produced by one of the HPKE.setup*R (recipient) factory methods, or — via the HPKEContextWithEncapsulation subclass — by one of the HPKE.setup*S (sender) factories.

The context is stateful: each seal(byte[], byte[]) / open(byte[], byte[]) call advances an internal sequence number that is XOR-mixed into the AEAD nonce per RFC 9180 §5.2, allowing a single context to encrypt or decrypt many messages in order without nonce reuse. export(byte[], int) derives auxiliary key material from the exporter secret and is deterministic — repeated calls with the same (exporterContext, L) return the same bytes.

Senders should use HPKEContextWithEncapsulation.getEncapsulation() to obtain the enc octet string that must be transmitted alongside the first ciphertext so the receiver can run the matching setup*R.
