public class SymmetricDecryption
extends CipherActor

Decrypt an unsigned byte array using a symmetric algorithm.

See SymmetricEncryption for a description of symmetric vs. asymmetric algorithms.

This actor reads an unsigned byte array at the input port, decrypts the data using the data from the key port and then writes the unsigned byte array results to the output port.

The key should be the same for both the SymmetricEncryption actor and this actor. The algorithm parameter determines which algorithm is used. The algorithm specified must be symmetric. The mode and padding can also be specified in the mode and padding parameters. In case a provider specific instance of an algorithm is needed the provider may also be specified in the provider parameter.

Note that for simplicity, this actor does not support the notion of algorithm parameters, so the algorithm must not require that algorithm parameters be transmitted separately from the key. If the user selects an algorithm that uses algorithm parameters, then an exception will likely be thrown.

This actor relies on the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA) and Java Cryptography Extension (JCE). See the CryptographyActor documentation for resources about JCA and JCE.

Field Detail

key

public TypedIOPort key
The key port. This port contains the key that is used to decrypt data from the input port. The type is KeyToken that contains a java.security.key


_key

private java.security.Key _key
Constructor Detail

SymmetricDecryption

public SymmetricDecryption(CompositeEntity container,
                           java.lang.String name)
                    throws NameDuplicationException,
                           IllegalActionException
Construct an actor with the given container and name.

Parameters:
container - The container.
name - The name of this actor.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If the actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.
NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.
Method Detail

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException
Read the input and key, and send the decrypted data to the output port. The algorithm is obtained from the key, and if it is different than the current value of the algorithm parameter, we reinitialize _cipher.

Specified by:
fire in interface Executable
Overrides:
fire in class CipherActor
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If retrieving parameters fails, the algorithm does not exist or if the provider does not exist.

_process

protected byte[] _process(byte[] dataBytes)
                   throws IllegalActionException
Decrypt the data with the secret key by using javax.crypto.Cipher.

Specified by:
_process in class CryptographyActor
Parameters:
dataBytes - the data to be decrypted.
Returns:
byte[] the decrypted data.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If an error occurs in ByteArrayOutputStream, a key is invalid, padding is bad, or if the block size is illegal.
