Interface PBEBigIntegerEncryptor

All Superinterfaces:
BigIntegerEncryptor, PasswordBased
All Known Subinterfaces:
PBEBigIntegerCleanablePasswordEncryptor
All Known Implementing Classes:
PooledPBEBigIntegerEncryptor, StandardPBEBigIntegerEncryptor
public interface PBEBigIntegerEncryptor extends BigIntegerEncryptor, PasswordBased

Common interface for all Password Based Encryptors which receive a BigInteger message and return a BigInteger result.

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.
