org.bouncycastle.crypto.io.CipherOutputStream

public class CipherOutputStream
extends com.joshvm.java.io.FilterOutputStream

A CipherOutputStream is composed of an OutputStream and a cipher so that write() methods process the written data with the cipher, and the output of the cipher is in turn written to the underlying OutputStream. The cipher must be fully initialized before being used by a CipherInputStream.

For example, if the cipher is initialized for encryption, the CipherOutputStream will encrypt the data before writing the encrypted data to the underlying stream.

Constructor Detail

CipherOutputStream

public CipherOutputStream(OutputStream os,
                  BufferedBlockCipher cipher)

Constructs a CipherOutputStream from an OutputStream and a BufferedBlockCipher.

CipherOutputStream

public CipherOutputStream(OutputStream os,
                  StreamCipher cipher)

Constructs a CipherOutputStream from an OutputStream and a BufferedBlockCipher.

CipherOutputStream

public CipherOutputStream(OutputStream os,
                  AEADBlockCipher cipher)

Constructs a CipherOutputStream from an OutputStream and a AEADBlockCipher.

Method Detail

write

public void write(int b)
           throws IOException

Writes the specified byte to this output stream.

Overrides:

write in class com.joshvm.java.io.FilterOutputStream

Parameters:

b - the byte.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

write

public void write(byte[] b)
           throws IOException

Writes b.length bytes from the specified byte array to this output stream.

The write method of CipherOutputStream calls the write method of three arguments with the three arguments b, 0, and b.length.

Overrides:

write in class com.joshvm.java.io.FilterOutputStream

Parameters:

b - the data.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

write(byte[], int, int)

write

public void write(byte[] b,
         int off,
         int len)
           throws IOException

Writes len bytes from the specified byte array starting at offset off to this output stream.

Overrides:

write in class com.joshvm.java.io.FilterOutputStream

Parameters:

b - the data.

off - the start offset in the data.

len - the number of bytes to write.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

flush

public void flush()
           throws IOException

Flushes this output stream by forcing any buffered output bytes that have already been processed by the encapsulated cipher object to be written out.

Any bytes buffered by the encapsulated cipher and waiting to be processed by it will not be written out. For example, if the encapsulated cipher is a block cipher, and the total number of bytes written using one of the write methods is less than the cipher's block size, no bytes will be written out.

Overrides:

flush in class com.joshvm.java.io.FilterOutputStream

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Closes this output stream and releases any system resources associated with this stream.

This method invokes the doFinal method of the encapsulated cipher object, which causes any bytes buffered by the encapsulated cipher to be processed. The result is written out by calling the flush method of this output stream.

This method resets the encapsulated cipher object to its initial state and calls the close method of the underlying output stream.

Overrides:

close in class com.joshvm.java.io.FilterOutputStream

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

InvalidCipherTextIOException - if the data written to this stream was invalid ciphertext (e.g. the cipher is an AEAD cipher and the ciphertext tag check fails).
