Method Detail
-
createRandom
public static char[] createRandom(int length)
Create a random password of lengthlength
.- Parameters:
length
-- Returns:
- A new random password.
-
decrypt
public static byte[] decrypt(byte[] bytes)
Decrypt a byte array which was previously encrypted usingencrypt
. Provided the same salt and passphrase are used for initialization, this method returns the original unencrypted input.- Parameters:
bytes
-- Returns:
- The decrypted representation of
bytes
-
decrypt
public static char[] decrypt(java.lang.String value)
Decrypt a string which was previously encrypted usingencrypt
. Provided the same salt and passphrase are used for initialization, this method returns the original unencrypted input.- Parameters:
value
-- Returns:
- The decrypted representation of
value
-
encrypt
public static byte[] encrypt(byte[] bytes)
Encrypt a clear text array of bytes. The result is the plain encrypted byte array.- Parameters:
bytes
-- Returns:
- The encrpyted representation of
bytes
-
encrypt
public static java.lang.String encrypt(char[] value)
Encrypt a clear text array of chars. The result is a Base64 encoded string version of the encrypted UTF-8 encoded input bytes.- Parameters:
value
-- Returns:
- An encrypted, invertible representation of
value
-
hash
public static java.lang.String hash(char[] password)
A one way hash for a clear text password.- Parameters:
password
-- Returns:
- A one way hash for a clear text password.
-
