virtual void GeneratableCryptoMaterial::GenerateRandom ( RandomNumberGenerator rng,
const NameValuePairs params = g_nullNameValuePairs 
) [inline, virtual, inherited]

Generate a random key or crypto parameters.

Parameters:
rng a RandomNumberGenerator to produce keying material
params additional initialization parameters
Exceptions:
KeyingErr if a key can't be generated or algorithm parameters are invalid

If a derived class does not override GenerateRandom, then the base class throws NotImplemented.

Reimplemented in DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC >, DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC >, InvertibleESIGNFunction, DL_GroupParameters_IntegerBased, DL_GroupParameters_DSA, InvertibleLUCFunction, DL_PrivateKeyImpl< GP >, InvertibleRabinFunction, InvertibleRSAFunction, InvertibleRWFunction, and DL_PrivateKeyImpl< DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC > >.

void GeneratableCryptoMaterial::GenerateRandomWithKeySize ( RandomNumberGenerator rng,
unsigned int  keySize 
) [inherited]

Generate a random key or crypto parameters.

Parameters:
rng a RandomNumberGenerator to produce keying material
keySize the size of the key, in bits
Exceptions:
KeyingErr if a key can't be generated or algorithm parameters are invalid

GenerateRandomWithKeySize calls GenerateRandom with a NameValuePairs object with only "KeySize"

Definition at line 771 of file cryptlib.cpp.

virtual void CryptoMaterial::AssignFrom ( const NameValuePairs source  )  [pure virtual, inherited]
virtual bool CryptoMaterial::Validate ( RandomNumberGenerator rng,
unsigned int  level 
) const [pure virtual, inherited]

Check this object for errors.

Parameters:
rng a RandomNumberGenerator for objects which use randomized testing
level the level of thoroughness
Returns:
true if the tests succeed, false otherwise

There are four levels of thoroughness:

  • 0 - using this object won't cause a crash or exception
  • 1 - this object will probably function, and encrypt, sign, other operations correctly
  • 2 - ensure this object will function correctly, and perform reasonable security checks
  • 3 - perform reasonable security checks, and do checks that may take a long time

Level 0 does not require a RandomNumberGenerator. A NullRNG() can be used for level 0.

Level 1 may not check for weak keys and such.

Levels 2 and 3 are recommended.

Implemented in ESIGNFunction, InvertibleESIGNFunction, LUCFunction, InvertibleLUCFunction, DL_GroupParameters< T >, DL_PrivateKeyImpl< GP >, DL_PublicKeyImpl< GP >, RabinFunction, InvertibleRabinFunction, RSAFunction, InvertibleRSAFunction, RWFunction, InvertibleRWFunction, XTR_DH, DL_GroupParameters< Integer >, DL_GroupParameters< typenameEcPrecomputation< EC >::Element >, DL_PrivateKeyImpl< DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC > >, and DL_PublicKeyImpl< DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC > >.

virtual void CryptoMaterial::ThrowIfInvalid ( RandomNumberGenerator rng,
unsigned int  level 
) const [inline, virtual, inherited]

Check this object for errors.

Parameters:
rng a RandomNumberGenerator for objects which use randomized testing
level the level of thoroughness
Exceptions:
InvalidMaterial 

Internally, ThrowIfInvalid() calls Validate() and throws InvalidMaterial if validation fails.

Definition at line 1939 of file cryptlib.h.

virtual void CryptoMaterial::Save ( BufferedTransformation bt  )  const [inline, virtual, inherited]

Saves a key to a BufferedTransformation.

Parameters:
bt the destination BufferedTransformation
Exceptions:
NotImplemented 

Save writes the material to a BufferedTransformation.

If the material is a key, then the key is written with ASN.1 DER encoding. The key includes an object identifier with an algorthm id, like a subjectPublicKeyInfo.

A "raw" key without the "key info" can be saved using a key's DEREncode method.

If a derived class does not override Save, then the base class throws NotImplemented.

Reimplemented in InvertibleRSAFunction, RWFunction, and InvertibleRWFunction.

Definition at line 1951 of file cryptlib.h.

virtual void CryptoMaterial::Load ( BufferedTransformation bt  )  [inline, virtual, inherited]

Loads a key from a BufferedTransformation.

Parameters:
bt the source BufferedTransformation
Exceptions:
KeyingErr 

Load attempts to read material from a BufferedTransformation. If the material is a key that was generated outside the library, then the following usually applies:

  • the key should be ASN.1 BER encoded
  • the key should be a "key info"

"key info" means the key should have an object identifier with an algorthm id, like a subjectPublicKeyInfo.

To read a "raw" key without the "key info", then call the key's BERDecode method.

Note:
Load generally does not check that the key is valid. Call Validate(), if needed.

Reimplemented in InvertibleRSAFunction, RWFunction, and InvertibleRWFunction.

Definition at line 1968 of file cryptlib.h.

virtual bool CryptoMaterial::SupportsPrecomputation (  )  const [inline, virtual, inherited]

Determines whether the object supports precomputation.

Returns:
true if the object supports precomputation, false otherwise

Reimplemented in DL_GroupParameters< T >, DL_PrivateKeyImpl< GP >, DL_PublicKeyImpl< GP >, DL_GroupParameters< Integer >, DL_GroupParameters< typenameEcPrecomputation< EC >::Element >, DL_PrivateKeyImpl< DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC > >, and DL_PublicKeyImpl< DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC > >.

Definition at line 1973 of file cryptlib.h.

virtual void CryptoMaterial::Precompute ( unsigned int  precomputationStorage  )  [inline, virtual, inherited]

Perform precomputation.

Parameters:
precomputationStorage the suggested number of objects for the precompute table
Exceptions:
NotImplemented 

The exact semantics of Precompute() varies, but it typically means calculate a table of n objects that can be used later to speed up computation.

If a derived class does not override Precompute, then the base class throws NotImplemented.

Reimplemented in DL_GroupParameters< T >, DL_PrivateKeyImpl< GP >, DL_PublicKeyImpl< GP >, DL_GroupParameters< Integer >, DL_GroupParameters< typenameEcPrecomputation< EC >::Element >, DL_PrivateKeyImpl< DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC > >, and DL_PublicKeyImpl< DL_GroupParameters_EC< EC > >.

Parameters:
name the name of the value to retrieve
value the value retrieved upon success

true if an int value was retrieved, false otherwise

GetIntValue() is used to ensure we don't accidentally try to get an unsigned int or some other type when we mean int (which is the most common case)

Parameters:
name the name of the value

Exceptions:
ValueTypeMismatch 

ThrowIfTypeMismatch() effectively performs a type safety check. stored and retrieving are C++ mangled names for the type.
