The ciphers in GNU Crypto can usually be initiallized directly through
their constructors, but the preferred way is to use the
CipherFactory class, with the following method:
| static IBlockCipher getInstance (java.lang.String name) | Function |
Returns a new cipher instance for the cipher named name, or
null if no such cipher exists. This method will throw a
java.lang.InternalError if the new instance's self-test fails.
|
The class also defines this method:
| static java.util.Set getNames ( ) | Function |
This method returns a java.util.Set of the names (each element of
type java.lang.String) of all supported ciphers.
