Direct Known Subclasses:

public class SimpleHash
extends org.apache.shiro.lang.codec.CodecSupport
implements Hash, Serializable

A Hash implementation that allows any MessageDigest algorithm name to be used. This class is a less type-safe variant than the other AbstractHash subclasses (e.g. Sha512Hash, etc.), but it does allow for any algorithm name to be specified in case the other subclass implementations do not represent an algorithm that you may want to use.

As of Shiro 1.1, this class effectively replaces the (now-deprecated) AbstractHash class. It subclasses AbstractHash only to retain backwards-compatibility.

Since:

1.1

Constructor Details

SimpleHash

public SimpleHash(String algorithmName)

Creates an new instance with only its algorithmName set - no hashing is performed.

Because all other constructors in this class hash the source constructor argument, this constructor is useful in scenarios when you have a byte array that you know is already hashed and just want to set the bytes in their raw form directly on an instance. After using this constructor, you can then immediately call setBytes to have a fully-initialized instance.

N.B.The algorithm identified by the algorithmName parameter must be available on the JVM. If it is not, a UnknownAlgorithmException will be thrown when the hash is performed (not at instantiation).

Parameters:

algorithmName - the MessageDigest algorithm name to use when performing the hash.

See Also:

• UnknownAlgorithmException

SimpleHash

public SimpleHash(String algorithmName,
 Object source)
           throws org.apache.shiro.lang.codec.CodecException,
org.apache.shiro.crypto.UnknownAlgorithmException

Creates an algorithmName-specific hash of the specified source with no salt using a single hash iteration.

This is a convenience constructor that merely executes this( algorithmName, source, null, 1);.

Please see the SimpleHashHash(algorithmName, Object,Object,int) constructor for the types of Objects that may be passed into this constructor, as well as how to support further types.

Parameters:

algorithmName - the MessageDigest algorithm name to use when performing the hash.

source - the object to be hashed.

Throws:

org.apache.shiro.lang.codec.CodecException - if the specified source cannot be converted into a byte array (byte[]).

org.apache.shiro.crypto.UnknownAlgorithmException - if the algorithmName is not available.

SimpleHash

public SimpleHash(String algorithmName,
 Object source,
 Object salt)
           throws org.apache.shiro.lang.codec.CodecException,
org.apache.shiro.crypto.UnknownAlgorithmException

Creates an algorithmName-specific hash of the specified source using the given salt using a single hash iteration.

It is a convenience constructor that merely executes this( algorithmName, source, salt, 1);.

Please see the SimpleHashHash(algorithmName, Object,Object,int) constructor for the types of Objects that may be passed into this constructor, as well as how to support further types.

Parameters:

algorithmName - the MessageDigest algorithm name to use when performing the hash.

source - the source object to be hashed.

salt - the salt to use for the hash

Throws:

org.apache.shiro.lang.codec.CodecException - if either constructor argument cannot be converted into a byte array.

org.apache.shiro.crypto.UnknownAlgorithmException - if the algorithmName is not available.

SimpleHash

public SimpleHash(String algorithmName,
 Object source,
 int hashIterations)
           throws org.apache.shiro.lang.codec.CodecException,
org.apache.shiro.crypto.UnknownAlgorithmException

Creates an algorithmName-specific hash of the specified source using the given salt using a single hash iteration.

It is a convenience constructor that merely executes this( algorithmName, source, salt, 1);.

Please see the SimpleHashHash(algorithmName, Object,Object,int) constructor for the types of Objects that may be passed into this constructor, as well as how to support further types.

Parameters:

algorithmName - the MessageDigest algorithm name to use when performing the hash.

source - the source object to be hashed.

hashIterations - the number of times the source argument hashed for attack resiliency.

Throws:

org.apache.shiro.lang.codec.CodecException - if either constructor argument cannot be converted into a byte array.

SimpleHash

public SimpleHash(String algorithmName,
 Object source,
 Object salt,
 int hashIterations)
           throws org.apache.shiro.lang.codec.CodecException,
org.apache.shiro.crypto.UnknownAlgorithmException

Creates an algorithmName-specific hash of the specified source using the given salt a total of hashIterations times.

By default, this class only supports Object method arguments of type byte[], char[], String, File, InputStream or ByteSource. If either argument is anything other than these types a CodecException will be thrown.

If you want to be able to hash other object types, or use other salt types, you need to override the toBytes(Object) method to support those specific types. Your other option is to convert your arguments to one of the default supported types first before passing them in to this constructor}.

Parameters:

algorithmName - the MessageDigest algorithm name to use when performing the hash.

source - the source object to be hashed.

salt - the salt to use for the hash

hashIterations - the number of times the source argument hashed for attack resiliency.

Throws:

org.apache.shiro.lang.codec.CodecException - if either Object constructor argument cannot be converted into a byte array.

org.apache.shiro.crypto.UnknownAlgorithmException - if the algorithmName is not available.

isEmpty in interface org.apache.shiro.lang.util.ByteSource

toHex

public String toHex()

Returns:

a hex-encoded string of the underlying byte array.

toBase64

public String toBase64()

This implementation caches the resulting Base64 string so multiple calls to this method remain efficient. However, calling setBytes will null the cached value, forcing it to be recalculated the next time this method is called.

Specified by:

toBase64 in interface org.apache.shiro.lang.util.ByteSource

Returns:

a Base64-encoded string of the underlying byte array.
