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.

Average

Average In this post, We will learn about average.  Average of any collection of data is the sum of data divide by number of data. Average = (Sum of observations /  Number of observations) Please write comments if you find anything incorrect, or you want to share more information about the topic discussed above.  problems The arithmetic mean of x, y and z is 80, and that of x, y, z, u and v is 75, where u=(x+y)/2 and v=(y+z)/2. If x ≥ z, then the minimum possible value of x is (CAT 2018) As specified in the question mean of x and y and z is 80 x+y+z=3*80 mean of x, y, z,u,v is 75 x+y+z+u+v=75*5 2u=x+y 2v=y+z x+y+z+((x+y+y+z)/2)=75*5 y+3(x+y+z)=75*10 y=750-720 y=30 since x+y+z=240 y=30 so x+z=210 since x>=z so minimum value of x=210/2 = 105 Problem2: In first 5 inings sehwag has scored at average of 40. In sixth ining He had scored 52 what is His average after 6th ining. one simple approach is getting total score divided by no of inin...

Set Theory

Set Theory Set Theory is a branch of mathematics in which we study about sets and their properties. Georg Cantor (1845-1918), a German mathematician, initiated the concept ‘Theory of sets’ or ‘Set Theory’. He was working on “ Problems on Trigonometric Series ” when he encountered something that had become the most fundamental thing in mathematics. Set theory is the fundamental theory in mathematics. Without sets, it is not possible to explain relations, functions, sequences, probability, geometry etc. Apart from this, Cantor also conceptualized that some of the infinities are countable and others are uncountable. He introduced the fact that the uncountable infinite set of real numbers is larger than the countable infinite set of integers. This is known as Cantor’s diagonal argument. Let us now go ahead and learn the meaning of sets in maths. Sets: To understand sets, consider a practical scenario. While going to school from home, Nivy decided to note down the ...

Conditional Statements in C

Conditional Statements In c programming language, decision making is used to specify the order in which statements are executed. In C we use conditional statements to achieve this. There can be any type of control structures. In our daily life, these kinds of control structures generally achieve or used in our decision-making process. Control Structures types. If then            If I exercise daily then I will be fit If else             If today rains then I will play FIFA else I will not play FIFA. else if      In programming, we use a conditional statement to make decisions in the same way as in real life. If Statement Example if the expression it true evaluate the statement. if (expession) { statement } C example. You have given a number, check if the number is positive print Positive on the terminal. if (number > 0) { printf("Positive"); } ...
