Standard implementation of the PBEStringEncryptor interface. This class lets the user specify the algorithm (and provider) to be used for encryption, the password to use, the number of hashing iterations and the salt generator that will be applied for obtaining the encryption key.

This class avoids byte-conversion problems related to the fact of different platforms having different default charsets, and returns encryption results in the form of BASE64-encoded or HEXADECIMAL ASCII Strings.

This class is thread-safe.


Configuration

The algorithm, provider, password, key-obtention iterations and salt generator can take values in any of these ways:

  • Using its default values (except for password).
  • Setting a PBEConfig object which provides new configuration values.
  • Calling the corresponding setX(...) methods.
And the actual values to be used for initialization will be established by applying the following priorities:
  1. First, the default values are considered (except for password).
  2. Then, if a PBEConfig object has been set with setConfig(...), the non-null values returned by its getX() methods override the default values.
  3. Finally, if the corresponding setX(...) method has been called on the encryptor itself for any of the configuration parameters, the values set by these calls override all of the above.


Initialization

Before it is ready to encrypt, an object of this class has to be initialized. Initialization happens:

  • When initialize() is called.
  • When encrypt(...) or decrypt(...) are called for the first time, if initialize() has not been called before.
Once an encryptor has been initialized, trying to change its configuration will result in an AlreadyInitializedException being thrown.


Usage

An encryptor may be used for:

  • Encrypting messages, by calling the encrypt(...) method.
  • Decrypting messages, by calling the decrypt(...) method.
If a random salt generator is used, two encryption results for the same message will always be different (except in the case of random salt coincidence). This may enforce security by difficulting brute force attacks on sets of data at a time and forcing attackers to perform a brute force attack on each separate piece of encrypted data.

To learn more about the mechanisms involved in encryption, read PKCS #5: Password-Based Cryptography Standard.

public final class StandardPBEStringEncryptor implements PBEStringCleanablePasswordEncryptor {

Charset to be used to obtain "encryptable" byte arrays from input Strings. Set to UTF-8.

This charset has to be fixed to some value so that we avoid problems with different platforms having different "default" charsets.

It is set to UTF-8 because it covers the whole spectrum of characters representable in Java (which internally uses UTF-16), and avoids the size penalty of UTF-16 (which will always use two bytes for representing each character, even if it is an ASCII one).

Setting it to UTF-8 does not mean that Strings that originally come, for example, from an ISO-8859-1 input, won't be correctly encoded, as we only need to use the same charset both when encoding and decoding. That way the same String will be reconstructed independently of the original encoding (for encrypting, we only need "a byte representation" of the string, not "a readable byte representation").

private static final String MESSAGE_CHARSET = "UTF-8";

Charset to be used for encoding the encryption results. Set to US-ASCII.

The result of encrypting some bytes can be any other bytes, and so the result of encrypting, for example, some LATIN-1 valid String bytes, can be bytes that may not conform a "valid" LATIN-1 String.

Because of this, encryption results are always encoded in BASE64 (default) or HEXADECIMAL after being created, and this ensures that the results will make perfectly representable, safe ASCII Strings. Because of this, the charset used to convert the encrypted bytes to the returned String is set to US-ASCII.

Sets a PBEConfig object for the encryptor. If this config object is set, it will be asked values for:

  • Algorithm
  • Security Provider (or provider name)
  • Password
  • Hashing iterations for obtaining the encryption key
  • Salt generator
  • Output type (base64, hexadecimal) (only StringPBEConfig)

The non-null values it returns will override the default ones, and will be overriden by any values specified with a setX method.

Params:
  • config – the PBEConfig object to be used as the source for configuration parameters.
/** * <p> * Sets a <tt>{@link org.jasypt.encryption.pbe.config.PBEConfig}</tt> object * for the encryptor.

public synchronized void setConfig(final PBEConfig config) { this.byteEncryptor.setConfig(config); if ((config != null) && (config instanceof StringPBEConfig)) { this.stringPBEConfig = (StringPBEConfig) config; } }

Sets the algorithm to be used for encryption, like PBEWithMD5AndDES.

This algorithm has to be supported by your JCE provider (if you specify one, or the default JVM provider if you don't) and, if it is supported, you can also specify mode and padding for it, like ALGORITHM/MODE/PADDING.

Params:
  • algorithm – the name of the algorithm to be used.
/** * <p> * Sets the algorithm to be used for encryption, like * <tt>PBEWithMD5AndDES</tt>. * </p> * <p> * This algorithm has to be supported by your JCE provider (if you specify * one, or the default JVM provider if you don't) and, if it is supported, * you can also specify <i>mode</i> and <i>padding</i> for * it, like <tt>ALGORITHM/MODE/PADDING</tt>. * </p> * * @param algorithm the name of the algorithm to be used. */
public void setAlgorithm(final String algorithm) { this.byteEncryptor.setAlgorithm(algorithm); }

Sets the password to be used.

There is no default value for password, so not setting this parameter either from a PBEConfig object or from a call to setPassword will result in an EncryptionInitializationException being thrown during initialization.

Params:
  • password – the password to be used.
/** * <p> * Sets the password to be used. * </p> * <p> * <b>There is no default value for password</b>, so not setting * this parameter either from a * {@link org.jasypt.encryption.pbe.config.PBEConfig} object or from * a call to <tt>setPassword</tt> will result in an * EncryptionInitializationException being thrown during initialization. * </p> * * @param password the password to be used. */
public void setPassword(final String password) { this.byteEncryptor.setPassword(password); }

Sets the password to be used, as a char[].

This allows the password to be specified as a cleanable char[] instead of a String, in extreme security conscious environments in which no copy of the password as an immutable String should be kept in memory.

Important: the array specified as a parameter WILL BE COPIED in order to be stored as encryptor configuration. The caller of this method will therefore be responsible for its cleaning (jasypt will only clean the internally stored copy).

There is no default value for password, so not setting this parameter either from a PBEConfig object or from a call to setPassword will result in an EncryptionInitializationException being thrown during initialization.

Params:
  • password – the password to be used.
Since:1.8

public void setPasswordCharArray(char[] password) { this.byteEncryptor.setPasswordCharArray(password); }

Set the number of hashing iterations applied to obtain the encryption key.

This mechanism is explained in PKCS #5: Password-Based Cryptography Standard.

Params:
  • keyObtentionIterations – the number of iterations
/** * <p> * Set the number of hashing iterations applied to obtain the * encryption key. * </p> * <p> * This mechanism is explained in * <a href="http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2127" * target="_blank">PKCS &#035;5: Password-Based Cryptography Standard</a>. * </p> * * @param keyObtentionIterations the number of iterations */
public void setKeyObtentionIterations(final int keyObtentionIterations) { this.byteEncryptor.setKeyObtentionIterations(keyObtentionIterations); }

Sets the salt generator to be used. If no salt generator is specified, an instance of RandomSaltGenerator will be used.

Params:
  • saltGenerator – the salt generator to be used.
/** * <p> * Sets the salt generator to be used. If no salt generator is specified, * an instance of {@link org.jasypt.salt.RandomSaltGenerator} will be used. * </p> * * @param saltGenerator the salt generator to be used. */
public void setSaltGenerator(final SaltGenerator saltGenerator) { this.byteEncryptor.setSaltGenerator(saltGenerator); }

Sets the IV generator to be used. If no IV generator is specified, an instance of NoIvGenerator will be used.

Params:
  • ivGenerator – the IV generator to be used.
/** * <p> * Sets the IV generator to be used. If no IV generator is specified, * an instance of {@link org.jasypt.iv.NoIvGenerator} will be used. * </p> * * @param ivGenerator the IV generator to be used. */
public void setIvGenerator(final IvGenerator ivGenerator) { this.byteEncryptor.setIvGenerator(ivGenerator); }

Sets the name of the security provider to be asked for the encryption algorithm. This security provider has to be registered beforehand at the JVM security framework.

The provider can also be set with the setProvider(Provider) method, in which case it will not be necessary neither registering the provider beforehand, nor calling this setProviderName(String) method to specify a provider name.

Note that a call to setProvider(Provider) overrides any value set by this method.

If no provider name / provider is explicitly set, the default JVM provider will be used.

Params:
  • providerName – the name of the security provider to be asked for the encryption algorithm.
Since:1.3
/** * <p> * Sets the name of the security provider to be asked for the * encryption algorithm. This security provider has to be registered * beforehand at the JVM security framework. * </p> * <p> * The provider can also be set with the {@link #setProvider(Provider)} * method, in which case it will not be necessary neither registering * the provider beforehand, * nor calling this {@link #setProviderName(String)} method to specify * a provider name. * </p> * <p> * Note that a call to {@link #setProvider(Provider)} overrides any value * set by this method. * </p> * <p> * If no provider name / provider is explicitly set, the default JVM * provider will be used. * </p> * * @since 1.3 * * @param providerName the name of the security provider to be asked * for the encryption algorithm. */
public void setProviderName(final String providerName) { this.byteEncryptor.setProviderName(providerName); }

Sets the security provider to be asked for the encryption algorithm. The provider does not have to be registered at the security infrastructure beforehand, and its being used here will not result in its being registered.

If this method is called, calling setProviderName(String) becomes unnecessary.

If no provider name / provider is explicitly set, the default JVM provider will be used.

Params:
  • provider – the provider to be asked for the chosen algorithm
Since:1.3
/** * <p> * Sets the security provider to be asked for the encryption algorithm. * The provider does not have to be registered at the security * infrastructure beforehand, and its being used here will not result in * its being registered. * </p> * <p> * If this method is called, calling {@link #setProviderName(String)} * becomes unnecessary. * </p> * <p> * If no provider name / provider is explicitly set, the default JVM * provider will be used. * </p> * * @since 1.3 * * @param provider the provider to be asked for the chosen algorithm */
public void setProvider(final Provider provider) { this.byteEncryptor.setProvider(provider); }

Sets the the form in which String output will be encoded. Available encoding types are:

  • base64 (default)
  • hexadecimal

If not set, null will be returned.

Params:
  • stringOutputType – the string output type.
Since:1.3

Returns true if the encryptor has already been initialized, false if not.
Initialization happens:

  • When initialize is called.
  • When encrypt or decrypt are called for the first time, if initialize has not been called before.

Once an encryptor has been initialized, trying to change its configuration will result in an AlreadyInitializedException being thrown.

Returns:true if the encryptor has already been initialized, false if not.
/** * <p> * Returns true if the encryptor has already been initialized, false if * not.<br/> * Initialization happens: * </p> * <ul> * <li>When <tt>initialize</tt> is called.</li> * <li>When <tt>encrypt</tt> or <tt>decrypt</tt> are called for the * first time, if <tt>initialize</tt> has not been called before.</li> * </ul> * <p> * Once an encryptor has been initialized, trying to * change its configuration will * result in an <tt>AlreadyInitializedException</tt> being thrown. * </p> * * @return true if the encryptor has already been initialized, false if * not. */
public boolean isInitialized() { return this.byteEncryptor.isInitialized(); }

Initialize the encryptor.

This operation will consist in determining the actual configuration values to be used, and then initializing the encryptor with them.
These values are decided by applying the following priorities:

  1. First, the default values are considered (except for password).
  2. Then, if a PBEConfig object has been set with setConfig, the non-null values returned by its getX methods override the default values.
  3. Finally, if the corresponding setX method has been called on the encryptor itself for any of the configuration parameters, the values set by these calls override all of the above.

Once an encryptor has been initialized, trying to change its configuration will result in an AlreadyInitializedException being thrown.

Throws:

Encrypts a message using the specified configuration.

The Strings returned by this method are BASE64-encoded (default) or HEXADECIMAL ASCII Strings.

The mechanisms applied to perform the encryption operation are described in PKCS #5: Password-Based Cryptography Standard.

This encryptor uses a salt for each encryption operation. The size of the salt depends on the algorithm being used. This salt is used for creating the encryption key and, if generated by a random generator, it is also appended unencrypted at the beginning of the results so that a decryption operation can be performed.

If a random salt generator is used, two encryption results for the same message will always be different (except in the case of random salt coincidence). This may enforce security by difficulting brute force attacks on sets of data at a time and forcing attackers to perform a brute force attack on each separate piece of encrypted data.

Params:
  • message – the String message to be encrypted

Decrypts a message using the specified configuration.

This method expects to receive a BASE64-encoded (default) or HEXADECIMAL ASCII String.

The mechanisms applied to perform the decryption operation are described in PKCS #5: Password-Based Cryptography Standard.

If a random salt generator is used, this decryption operation will expect to find an unencrypted salt at the beginning of the encrypted input, so that the decryption operation can be correctly performed (there is no other way of knowing it).
