Interface DSAKey

All Known Subinterfaces:
  DSAPrivateKey, DSAPublicKey

    public interface DSAKey

The DSAKey interface is the base interface for the DSA algorithm's private and public key implementations. A DSA private key implementation must also implement the `DSAPrivateKey` interface methods. A DSA public key implementation must also implement the `DSAPublicKey` interface methods.

When all four components of the key (X or Y,P,Q,G) are set, the key is initialized and ready for use.

Method Summary
`short` | `getG(byte[] buffer, short offset)` Returns the base parameter value of the key in plain text.
`short` | `getP(byte[] buffer, short offset)` Returns the prime parameter value of the key in plain text.
`short` | `getQ(byte[] buffer, short offset)` Returns the subprime parameter value of the key in plain text.
`void` | `setG(byte[] buffer, short offset, short length)` Sets the base parameter value of the key.
`void` | `setP(byte[] buffer, short offset, short length)` Sets the prime parameter value of the key.
`void` | `setQ(byte[] buffer, short offset, short length)` Sets the subprime parameter value of the key.

Method Detail

### setP

    void setP(byte[] buffer,
              short offset,
              short length)
              throws CryptoException

  Sets the prime parameter value of the key. The plain text data format is big-endian and right-aligned (the least significant bit is the least significant bit of last byte). Input prime parameter data is copied into the internal representation.

  Note:

  - If the key object implements the `javacardx.crypto.KeyEncryption` interface and the `Cipher` object specified via `setKeyCipher()` is not `null`, the prime parameter value is decrypted using the `Cipher` object.

  Parameters:
    `buffer` - the input buffer
    `offset` - the offset into the input buffer at which the prime parameter value begins
    `length` - the length of the prime parameter value
  Throws:
    `CryptoException` - with the following reason code:
    - `CryptoException.ILLEGAL_VALUE` if the input parameter data length is inconsistent with the implementation or if input data decryption is required and fails.

### setQ

    void setQ(byte[] buffer,
              short offset,
              short length)
              throws CryptoException

  Sets the subprime parameter value of the key. The plain text data format is big-endian and right-aligned (the least significant bit is the least significant bit of last byte). Input subprime parameter data is copied into the internal representation.

  Note:

  - If the key object implements the `javacardx.crypto.KeyEncryption` interface and the `Cipher` object specified via `setKeyCipher()` is not `null`, the subprime parameter value is decrypted using the `Cipher` object.

  Parameters:
    `buffer` - the input buffer
    `offset` - the offset into the input buffer at which the subprime parameter value begins
    `length` - the length of the subprime parameter value
  Throws:
    `CryptoException` - with the following reason code:
    - `CryptoException.ILLEGAL_VALUE` if the input parameter data length is inconsistent with the implementation or if input data decryption is required and fails.

### setG

    void setG(byte[] buffer,
              short offset,
              short length)
              throws CryptoException

  Sets the base parameter value of the key. The plain text data format is big-endian and right-aligned (the least significant bit is the least significant bit of last byte). Input base parameter data is copied into the internal representation.

  Note:

  - If the key object implements the `javacardx.crypto.KeyEncryption` interface and the `Cipher` object specified via `setKeyCipher()` is not `null`, the base parameter value is decrypted using the `Cipher` object.

  Parameters:
    `buffer` - the input buffer
    `offset` - the offset into the input buffer at which the base parameter value begins
    `length` - the length of the base parameter value
  Throws:
    `CryptoException` - with the following reason code:
    - `CryptoException.ILLEGAL_VALUE` if the input parameter data length is inconsistent with the implementation or if input data decryption is required and fails.

### getP

    short getP(byte[] buffer,
               short offset)

  Returns the prime parameter value of the key in plain text. The data format is big-endian and right-aligned (the least significant bit is the least significant bit of last byte).

  Parameters:
    `buffer` - the output buffer
    `offset` - the offset into the output buffer at which the prime parameter value starts
  Returns:
    the byte length of the prime parameter value returned
  Throws:
    `CryptoException` - with the following reason code:
    - `CryptoException.UNINITIALIZED_KEY` if the prime parameter has not been successfully initialized since the time the initialized state of the key was set to false.
  See Also:
    `Key`

### getQ

    short getQ(byte[] buffer,
               short offset)

  Returns the subprime parameter value of the key in plain text. The data format is big-endian and right-aligned (the least significant bit is the least significant bit of last byte).

  Parameters:
    `buffer` - the output buffer
    `offset` - the offset into the output buffer at which the subprime parameter value begins
  Returns:
    the byte length of the subprime parameter value returned
  Throws:
    `CryptoException` - with the following reason code:
    - `CryptoException.UNINITIALIZED_KEY` if the subprime parameter has not been successfully initialized since the time the initialized state of the key was set to false.
  See Also:
    `Key`

### getG

    short getG(byte[] buffer,
               short offset)

  Returns the base parameter value of the key in plain text. The data format is big-endian and right-aligned (the least significant bit is the least significant bit of last byte).

  Parameters:
    `buffer` - the output buffer
    `offset` - the offset into the output buffer at which the base parameter value begins
  Returns:
    the byte length of the base parameter value returned
  Throws:
    `CryptoException` - with the following reason code:
    - `CryptoException.UNINITIALIZED_KEY` if the base parameter has not been successfully initialized since the time the initialized state of the key was set to false.
  See Also:
    `Key`
