## gnu.crypto.pad
Class BasePad

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--gnu.crypto.pad.BasePad

All Implemented Interfaces:
  IPad

Direct Known Subclasses:
  PKCS1_V1_5, PKCS7, TBC

public abstract class BasePad
extends java.lang.Object
implements IPad

An abstract class to facilitate implementing padding algorithms.

Field Summary
`protected int` | `blockSize` The block size, in bytes, for this instance.
`protected java.lang.String` | `name` The canonical name prefix of the padding algorithm.

Constructor Summary
`protected` | `BasePad(java.lang.String name)` Trivial constructor for use by concrete subclasses.

Method Summary
`void` | `init(int bs)` Initialises the padding scheme with a designated block size.
`java.lang.String` | `name()`
`abstract byte[]` | `pad(byte[] in, int off, int len)` Returns the byte sequence that should be appended to the designated input.
`void` | `reset()` Resets the scheme instance for re-initialisation and use with other characteristics.
`boolean` | `selfTest()` A basic symmetric pad/unpad test.
`abstract void` | `setup()` If any additional checks or resource setup must be done by the subclass, then this is the hook for it.
`abstract int` | `unpad(byte[] in, int off, int len)` Returns the number of bytes to discard from a designated input buffer.

Field Detail

### name

    protected java.lang.String name

  The canonical name prefix of the padding algorithm.

### blockSize

    protected int blockSize

  The block size, in bytes, for this instance.

Constructor Detail

### BasePad

    protected BasePad(java.lang.String name)

  Trivial constructor for use by concrete subclasses.

Method Detail

### name

    public java.lang.String name()

  Specified by:
    `name` in interface `IPad`
  Returns:
    the canonical name of this instance.

### init

    public void init(int bs)
              throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

  Description copied from interface: `IPad`
  Initialises the padding scheme with a designated block size.

  Specified by:
    `init` in interface `IPad`
  Parameters:
    `bs` - the designated block size.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if the instance is already initialised.

### reset

    public void reset()

  Description copied from interface: `IPad`
  Resets the scheme instance for re-initialisation and use with other characteristics. This method always succeeds.

  Specified by:
    `reset` in interface `IPad`

### selfTest

    public boolean selfTest()

  Description copied from interface: `IPad`
  A basic symmetric pad/unpad test.

  Specified by:
    `selfTest` in interface `IPad`
  Returns:
    `true` if the implementation passes a basic symmetric self-test. Returns `false` otherwise.

### setup

    public abstract void setup()

  If any additional checks or resource setup must be done by the subclass, then this is the hook for it. This method will be called before the `init(int)` method returns.

### pad

    public abstract byte[] pad(byte[] in,
                               int off,
                               int len)

  Description copied from interface: `IPad`
  Returns the byte sequence that should be appended to the designated input.

  Specified by:
    `pad` in interface `IPad`
  Parameters:
    `in` - the input buffer containing the bytes to pad.
    `off` - the starting index of meaningful data in in.
    `len` - the number of meaningful bytes in in.
  Returns:
    the possibly 0-byte long sequence to be appended to the designated input.

### unpad

    public abstract int unpad(byte[] in,
                              int off,
                              int len)
                       throws WrongPaddingException

  Description copied from interface: `IPad`
  Returns the number of bytes to discard from a designated input buffer.

  Specified by:
    `unpad` in interface `IPad`
  Parameters:
    `in` - the input buffer containing the bytes to unpad.
    `off` - the starting index of meaningful data in in.
    `len` - the number of meaningful bytes in in.
  Returns:
    the number of bytes to discard, to the left of index position `offset + length` in in. In other words, if the return value of a successful invocation of this method is `result`, then the unpadded byte sequence will be `offset + length - result` bytes in in, starting from index position `offset`.
  Throws:
    `WrongPaddingException` - if the data is not terminated with the expected padding bytes.
