Class NistKat

java.lang.Object
  gnu.crypto.tool.NistKat

public final class NistKat

extends java.lang.Object

For a designated symmetric block cipher algorithm, this command generates and exercises Known Answer Tests data for either, or both, Variable Key and Variable Text suites.

NistKat's output file format is in conformance with the layout described in Section 3 of NIST's document "Description of Known Answer Tests and Monte Carlo Tests for Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Candidate Algorithm Submissions" dated January 7, 1998.

Method Detail

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

The main entry point for this tool.

 Usage:
    gnu.crypto.tool.NistKat (options) cipher [key-size]

 Where:
    cipher
       The canonical name of the cipher algorithm.
    key-size
       The key-size in bits to use for the algorithm.  If unspecified,
       then the three NIST key-sizes 128, 192 and 256 shall be used.

 Options:
    -k | -t | -a
       Generate Variable Key Known Answer Test (KAT) data only, Variable
       Text KAT data only, or both.  For backward compatibility, if this
       option is unspecified, then -a (both Variable Text and Variable
       Key data) is activated.
