Fields

ENCRYPT

Syntax

public static const bool ENCRYPT

Remarks

Constant whose value is true. Intended to be passed to the init method of ciphers. (Inherited from Cipher.)

---

DECRYPT

Syntax

public static const bool DECRYPT

Remarks

Constant whose value is false. Intended to be passed to the init method of ciphers. (Inherited from Cipher.)

---

Properties

name

Syntax

public char[] name()

Remarks

The name of the cipher. (Inherited from Cipher.)

---

initialized

Syntax

public bool initialized()

Remarks

Whether or not the cipher has been initialized. (Inherited from Cipher.)

---

Methods

init

Syntax

public void init(bool encrypt, CipherParameters params)

Remarks

Initialize a cipher. (Inherited from Cipher.)

---

reset

Syntax

public void reset()

Remarks

Reset a cipher. (Inherited from Cipher.)

---

update

Syntax

public uint update(void[] input_, void[] output_)

Remarks

Process a block of data from the input array and place it in the output array. Returns the amount of data processed in bytes. (Inherited from Cipher.)

---

returnByte

Syntax

public ubyte returnByte()

Remarks

Return a single byte from the keystream. (Inherited from StreamCipher.)

Example

// dcrypt does NOT rely on Phobos or Tango
import tango.io.Console;
import dcrypt.misc.Util;

import dcrypt.crypto.params.SymmetricKey;
import dcrypt.crypto.ciphers.RC4;

void main() {
    RC4 rc4 = new RC4;
	
    // Create a simple test vector
    ubyte[] testBytes = new ubyte[56];
    
    // Initialize the cipher and encrypt the test vector
    rc4.init(RC4.ENCRYPT, new SymmetricKey(testBytes));
    rc4.update(testBytes, testBytes);

    Cout(Util.ubytesToHex(testBytes));
