Method Detail

getDefaultProvider

public static java.lang.String getDefaultProvider()

Deprecated. unused

Return the JCA/JCE provider that will be used by factory classes in situations where a provider must be determined on the fly.

Returns:

the name of the default provider.

setDefaultProvider

public static void setDefaultProvider(java.lang.String provider)

Deprecated. unused

Set the provider to be used by the package when it is necessary to find one on the fly.

Parameters:

provider - the name of the JCA/JCE provider to use by default.

makeRandomKey

public static byte[] makeRandomKey(int algorithm,
                                   java.security.SecureRandom random)
                            throws PGPException

Generates a random key for a symmetric encryption algorithm .

Parameters:

algorithm - the symmetric key algorithm identifier.

random - a source of random data.

Returns:

a key of the length required by the specified encryption algorithm.

Throws:

PGPException - if the encryption algorithm is unknown.

writeFileToLiteralData

public static void writeFileToLiteralData(java.io.OutputStream out,
                                          char fileType,
                                          java.io.File file)
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Write out the contents of the provided file as a literal data packet.

Parameters:

out - the stream to write the literal data to.

fileType - the PGPLiteralData type to use for the file data.

file - the file to write the contents of.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs reading the file or writing to the output stream.

writeFileToLiteralData

public static void writeFileToLiteralData(java.io.OutputStream out,
                                          char fileType,
                                          java.io.File file,
                                          byte[] buffer)
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Write out the contents of the provided file as a literal data packet in partial packet format.

Parameters:

out - the stream to write the literal data to.

fileType - the PGPLiteralData type to use for the file data.

file - the file to write the contents of.

buffer - buffer to be used to chunk the file into partial packets.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs reading the file or writing to the output stream.

PGPLiteralDataGenerator#open(OutputStream, char, String, Date, byte[])}.

getDecoderStream

public static java.io.InputStream getDecoderStream(java.io.InputStream in)
                                            throws java.io.IOException

Obtains a stream that can be used to read PGP data from the provided stream.

If the initial bytes of the underlying stream are binary PGP encodings, then the stream will be returned directly, otherwise an ArmoredInputStream is used to wrap the provided stream and remove ASCII-Armored encoding.

Parameters:

in - the stream to be checked and possibly wrapped.

Returns:

a stream that will return PGP binary encoded data.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs reading the stream, or initalising the ArmoredInputStream.
