org.bouncycastle.crypto.digests

## Class SkeinDigest

- java.lang.Object
- - org.bouncycastle.crypto.digests.SkeinDigest

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Digest, ExtendedDigest, Memoable

      public class SkeinDigest
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements ExtendedDigest, Memoable

  Implementation of the Skein parameterised hash function in 256, 512 and 1024 bit block sizes, based on the `Threefish` tweakable block cipher.

  This is the 1.3 version of Skein defined in the Skein hash function submission to the NIST SHA-3 competition in October 2010.

  Skein was designed by Niels Ferguson - Stefan Lucks - Bruce Schneier - Doug Whiting - Mihir Bellare - Tadayoshi Kohno - Jon Callas - Jesse Walker.

          public SkeinDigest(int stateSizeBits,
                     int digestSizeBits)

      Constructs a Skein digest with an internal state size and output size.
      Parameters:
        `stateSizeBits` - the internal state size in bits - one of `SKEIN_256`, `SKEIN_512` or `SKEIN_1024`.
        `digestSizeBits` - the output/digest size to produce in bits, which must be an integral number of bytes.

          public SkeinDigest(SkeinDigest digest)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### reset

          public void reset(Memoable other)

      Description copied from interface: `Memoable`
      Restore a copied object state into this object.

      Implementations of this method should try to avoid or minimise memory allocation to perform the reset.

      Specified by:
        `reset` in interface `Memoable`
      Parameters:
        `other` - an object originally `copied` from an object of the same type as this instance.

    - #### copy

          public Memoable copy()

      Description copied from interface: `Memoable`
      Produce a copy of this object with its configuration and in its current state.

      The returned object may be used simply to store the state, or may be used as a similar object starting from the copied state.

      Specified by:
        `copy` in interface `Memoable`

    - #### getAlgorithmName

          public java.lang.String getAlgorithmName()

      Description copied from interface: `Digest`
      return the algorithm name
      Specified by:
        `getAlgorithmName` in interface `Digest`
      Returns:
        the algorithm name

    - #### getDigestSize

          public int getDigestSize()

      Description copied from interface: `Digest`
      return the size, in bytes, of the digest produced by this message digest.
      Specified by:
        `getDigestSize` in interface `Digest`
      Returns:
        the size, in bytes, of the digest produced by this message digest.

        `getByteLength` in interface `ExtendedDigest`
      Returns:
        byte length of the digests internal buffer.

    - #### init

          public void init(SkeinParameters params)

      Optionally initialises the Skein digest with the provided parameters.
      See `SkeinParameters` for details on the parameterisation of the Skein hash function.
      Parameters:
        `params` - the parameters to apply to this engine, or `null` to use no parameters.

    - #### reset

          public void reset()

      Description copied from interface: `Digest`
      reset the digest back to it's initial state.
      Specified by:

    - #### update

          public void update(byte in)

      Description copied from interface: `Digest`
      update the message digest with a single byte.
      Specified by:
        `update` in interface `Digest`
      Parameters:
        `in` - the input byte to be entered.

    - #### update

          public void update(byte[] in,
                    int inOff,
                    int len)

      Description copied from interface: `Digest`
      update the message digest with a block of bytes.
      Specified by:
        `update` in interface `Digest`
      Parameters:
        `in` - the byte array containing the data.
        `inOff` - the offset into the byte array where the data starts.
        `len` - the length of the data.

    - #### doFinal

          public int doFinal(byte[] out,
                    int outOff)

      Description copied from interface: `Digest`
      close the digest, producing the final digest value. The doFinal call leaves the digest reset.
      Specified by:
        `doFinal` in interface `Digest`
      Parameters:
        `out` - the array the digest is to be copied into.
