SkeinMac (Bouncy Castle Library 1.52 API Specification)

org.bouncycastle.crypto.macs

## Class SkeinMac

- java.lang.Object
- - org.bouncycastle.crypto.macs.SkeinMac

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Mac

      public class SkeinMac
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements Mac

  Implementation of the Skein parameterised MAC 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.

    - #### SkeinMac

          public SkeinMac(int stateSizeBits,
                  int digestSizeBits)

      Constructs a Skein MAC 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/MAC size to produce in bits, which must be an integral number of bytes.

          public SkeinMac(SkeinMac mac)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getAlgorithmName

          public java.lang.String getAlgorithmName()

      Description copied from interface: `Mac`
      Return the name of the algorithm the MAC implements.
      Specified by:
        `getAlgorithmName` in interface `Mac`
      Returns:
        the name of the algorithm the MAC implements.

    - #### init

          public void init(CipherParameters params)
                    throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

      Initialises the Skein digest with the provided parameters.
      See `SkeinParameters` for details on the parameterisation of the Skein hash function.
      Specified by:
        `init` in interface `Mac`
      Parameters:
        `params` - an instance of `SkeinParameters` or `KeyParameter`.
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the params argument is inappropriate.

    - #### getMacSize

          public int getMacSize()

      Description copied from interface: `Mac`
      Return the block size for this MAC (in bytes).
      Specified by:
        `getMacSize` in interface `Mac`

        `update` in interface `Mac`
      Parameters:
        `in` - the byte to be processed.

    - #### update

          public void update(byte[] in,
