Constructor Detail

BlowfishKey

public BlowfishKey()

Constructs a new symmetric key for the Blowfish cipher. The key is computed from a default code; that is to say two instances created by using this constructor are equal.

BlowfishKey

public BlowfishKey(String keyCode)

Constructs a new symmetric key for the Blowfish cypher from the specified key code in text.

Parameters:

keyCode - the code of the key.

BlowfishKey

public BlowfishKey(byte[] keyCode)

Constructs a new symmetric key for the Blowfish cypher from the specified binary key code.

Parameters:

keyCode - the code of the key.
