Field Detail

DEFAULT_KEYGEN_ALG

public static final KeyGenAlgorithm DEFAULT_KEYGEN_ALG

The default key generation algorithm, currently DES3.

DEFAULT_KEYSIZE

public static final int DEFAULT_KEYSIZE

Constructor Detail

KeyManager

public KeyManager(CryptoToken token)

Creates a new KeyManager using the given CryptoToken.

Parameters:

token - The token on which this KeyManager operates.

Method Detail

generateKey

public byte[] generateKey()
                   throws TokenException

Generates an SDR key with the default algorithm and key size. The default algorithm is stored in the constant DEFAULT_KEYGEN_ALG. The default key size is stored in the constant DEFAULT_KEYSIZE.

Returns:

The keyID of the generated key. A random keyID will be chosen that is not currently used on the token. The keyID must be stored by the application in order to use this key for encryption in the future.

Throws:

TokenException

generateKey

public byte[] generateKey(KeyGenAlgorithm alg,
                 int keySize)
                   throws TokenException

Generates an SDR key with the given algorithm and key size.

Parameters:

keySize - Length of key in bytes. This is only relevant for algorithms that take more than one key size. Otherwise it can just be set to 0.

Returns:

The keyID of the generated key. A random keyID will be chosen that is not currently used on the token. The keyID must be stored by the application in order to use this key for encryption in the future.

Throws:

TokenException

generateUniqueNamedKey

public byte[] generateUniqueNamedKey(java.lang.String nickname)
                              throws TokenException

Generates an SDR key with the default algorithm and key size. and names it with the specified nickname. The default algorithm is stored in the constant DEFAULT_KEYGEN_ALG. The default key size is stored in the constant DEFAULT_KEYSIZE.

Parameters:

nickname - the name of the symmetric key. Duplicate keynames will be checked for, and are not allowed.

Returns:

The keyID of the generated key. A random keyID will be chosen that is not currently used on the token. The keyID must be stored by the application in order to use this key for encryption in the future.

Throws:

TokenException

generateUniqueNamedKey

public byte[] generateUniqueNamedKey(KeyGenAlgorithm alg,
                            int keySize,
                            java.lang.String nickname)
                              throws TokenException

Generates an SDR key with the given algorithm, key size, and nickname.

Parameters:

alg - The algorithm that this key will be used for. This is necessary because it will be stored along with the key for later use by the security library.

keySize - Length of key in bytes. This is only relevant for algorithms that take more than one key size. Otherwise it can just be set to 0.

nickname - the name of the symmetric key. Duplicate keynames will be checked for, and are not allowed.

Returns:

The keyID of the generated key. A random keyID will be chosen that is not currently used on the token. The keyID must be stored by the application in order to use this key for encryption in the future.

Throws:

TokenException

lookupKey

public javax.crypto.SecretKey lookupKey(EncryptionAlgorithm alg,
                               byte[] keyid)
                                 throws TokenException

Looks up the key on this token with the given algorithm and key ID.

Parameters:

alg - The algorithm that this key will be used for. This is necessary because it will be stored along with the key for later use by the security library. It should match the actual algorithm of the key you are looking for. If you pass in a different algorithm and try to use the key that is returned, the results are undefined.

Returns:

The key, or null if the key is not found.

Throws:

TokenException

uniqueNamedKeyExists

public boolean uniqueNamedKeyExists(java.lang.String nickname)
                             throws TokenException

Throws:

TokenException

lookupUniqueNamedKey

public javax.crypto.SecretKey lookupUniqueNamedKey(EncryptionAlgorithm alg,
                                          java.lang.String nickname)
                                            throws TokenException

Looks up the key on this token with the given algorithm and nickname.

Parameters:

alg - The algorithm that this key will be used for. This is necessary because it will be stored along with the key for later use by the security library. It should match the actual algorithm of the key you are looking for. If you pass in a different algorithm and try to use the key that is returned, the results are undefined.

nickname - the name of the symmetric key. Duplicate keynames will be checked for, and are not allowed.

Returns:

The key, or null if the key is not found.

Throws:

TokenException

deleteKey

public void deleteKey(byte[] keyID)
               throws TokenException,
                      java.security.InvalidKeyException

Deletes the key with the given keyID from this token.

Throws:

java.security.InvalidKeyException - If the key does not exist on this token.

TokenException

deleteUniqueNamedKey

public void deleteUniqueNamedKey(java.lang.String nickname)
                          throws TokenException,
                                 java.security.InvalidKeyException

If it exists, delete the key with the specified nickname from this token.

Throws:

TokenException

java.security.InvalidKeyException

deleteKey

public void deleteKey(javax.crypto.SecretKey key)
               throws TokenException,
                      java.security.InvalidKeyException

Deletes this key from this token.

Throws:

java.security.InvalidKeyException - If the key does not reside on this token, or is not a JSS key.
