Class Overview

This class provides access to implementations of cryptographic ciphers for encryption and decryption. Cipher classes can not be instantiated directly, one has to call the Cipher's getInstance method with the name of a requested transformation, optionally with a provider. A transformation specifies an operation (or a set of operations) as a string in the form:

  • "algorithm/mode/padding"
    • or
  • "algorithm"
algorithm is the name of a cryptographic algorithm, mode is the name of a feedback mode and padding is the name of a padding scheme. If mode and/or padding values are omitted, provider specific default values will be used.

A valid transformation would be:

    Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
When a block cipher is requested in in stream cipher mode, the number of bits to be processed at a time can be optionally specified by appending it to the mode name. e.g. "AES/CFB8/NoPadding". If no number is specified, a provider specific default value is used.
