JCE Provider

Provider Class
- Abstract class (Extend from properties class)
- Properties class (Extend from HashMap class)

Engine Class
An engine class provides the interface to a specific type of cryptographic service.
  • cryptographic operations (encryption, etc.)
  • generators or converters of cryptographic material (keys and algorithm parameters), or 
  • objects (keystores or certificates) that encapsulate the cryptographic data and can be used at higher layers of abstraction.
The following engine classes are available:
  • SecureRandom: used to generate random or pseudo-random numbers.
  • MessageDigest: used to calculate the message digest (hash) of specified data.
  • Signature: initialized with keys, these are used to sign data and verify digital signatures.
  • Cipher: initialized with keys, these are used for encrypting/decrypting data. There are various types of algorithms: symmetric bulk encryption (e.g. AES), asymmetric encryption (e.g. RSA), and password-based encryption (e.g. PBE).
  • Message Authentication Codes (MAC): like MessageDigests, these also generate hash values, but are first initialized with keys to protect the integrity of messages.
  • KeyFactory: used to convert existing opaque cryptographic keys of type Key into key specifications (transparent representations of the underlying key material), and vice versa.
  • SecretKeyFactory: used to convert existing opaque cryptographic keys of type SecretKey into key specifications (transparent representations of the underlying key material), and vice versa. SecretKeyFactorys are specialized KeyFactorys that create secret (symmetric) keys only.
  • KeyPairGenerator: used to generate a new pair of public and private keys suitable for use with a specified algorithm.
  • KeyGenerator: used to generate new secret keys for use with a specified algorithm.
  • KeyAgreement: used by two or more parties to agree upon and establish a specific key to use for a particular cryptographic operation.
  • AlgorithmParameters: used to store the parameters for a particular algorithm, including parameter encoding and decoding.
  • AlgorithmParameterGenerator : used to generate a set of AlgorithmParameters suitable for a specified algorithm.
  • KeyStore: used to create and manage a keystore. A keystore is a database of keys. Private keys in a keystore have a certificate chain associated with them, which authenticates the corresponding public key. A keystore also contains certificates from trusted entities.
  • CertificateFactory: used to create public key certificates and Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs).
  • CertPathBuilder: used to build certificate chains (also known as certification paths)
  • CertPathValidator: used to validate certificate chains.
  • CertStore: used to retrieve Certificates and CRLs from a repository.

OFFSET in Computer Science

OFFSET in Computer Science In the post, We will understand what is the meaning of OFFSET in computer science with an example. In computer science offset comes picture at may place like packing a data structure, encoding the data etc in some standard protocol so that other parties can deserialise it and understand the data. We will understand its important how does it work with example. suppose we have a data structure for a student like { name:string[20] roll: int[4] course: string[25] batch: int[4] } We want to serialise below student data  { name:"Amit Gupta" roll: 1234 course:Computer Science" batch: 2018 } Our protocol follow the rule that we will insert a value and if space will remain empty we will fill it with $ for example length of "Amit Gupta" is 10 but standard size is 20 so will fill 10 $ after "Amit Gupta". So serialisation of above data will be Amit Gupta$$$$$$$$$$1234Computer Sc...

Variable In C

Variable Like any other programming language in C programming language, we use a variable to store value, a value is any data like a number a or a character. In this post, we will learn about datatype of C programming language. Type Of Variable In C In this section, we will discuss how to store the following type of variable in C How to store an integer in C? How to store a float in C? How to store a double in C? How to store a long in C? How to store a character in C? As we already discussed that variable used to store data so that we can use it of other computation, for example, suppose we want to calculate the sum of two number then we have to store these two numbers first only after that we can use these two stored value to compute the sum. The entity that used to store a value called variable. What does it mean is suppose we tell a variable to store a number whose value is 5, the variable will place this number 5 in memory and we can variable in...

Clique in Graph

Clique in Graph In this tutorial, we will learn about the clique in the graph theory. Clique In graph theory, a clique is a subset of vertices of an undirected graph such that every two distinct vertices in the clique are adjacent. Please write comments if you find anything incorrect, or you want to share more information about the topic discussed above.

Supplementary angles

Supplementary angles Supplementary angles  are two angles with a sum of  180 ^\circ 1 8 0 ∘ 180, degree . A common case is when they lie on the same side of a straight line.
