Constructor Detail

Blowfish

public Blowfish()

Creates a new Blowfish object using the default key

Blowfish

public Blowfish(String password)

Creates a new Blowfish object using the specified key (oversized password will be cut).

Parameters:

password - the password (treated as a real unicode array)

Method Detail

encryptString

public String encryptString(String sPlainText)

Encrypts a string (treated in UNICODE).

Parameters:

sPlainText - string to encrypt

Returns:

encrypted string in binhex format

decryptString

public String decryptString(String sCipherText)

decrypts a hexbin string (handling is case sensitive)

Parameters:

sCipherText - hexbin string to decrypt

Returns:

decrypted string (null equals an error)

destroy

public void destroy()

destroys (clears) the encryption engine, after that the instance is not valid anymore
