Class MessageDigest

java.lang.Object
  extended byjava.security.MessageDigestSpi
      extended byjava.security.MessageDigest

public abstract class MessageDigest
extends MessageDigestSpi

This MessageDigest class provides applications the functionality of a message digest algorithm, such as MD5 or SHA. Message digests are secure one-way hash functions that take arbitrary-sized data and output a fixed-length hash value.

A MessageDigest object starts out initialized. The data is processed through it using the update methods. At any point reset can be called to reset the digest. Once all the data to be updated has been updated, one of the digest methods should be called to complete the hash computation.

The digest method can be called once for a given number of updates. After digest has been called, the MessageDigest object is reset to its initialized state.

Implementations are free to implement the Cloneable interface. Client applications can test cloneability by attempting cloning and catching the CloneNotSupportedException:

 MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA");

 try {
     md.update(toChapter1);
     MessageDigest tc1 = md.clone();
     byte[] toChapter1Digest = tc1.digest();
     md.update(toChapter2);
     ...etc.
 } catch (CloneNotSupportedException cnse) {
     throw new DigestException("couldn't make digest of partial content");
 }
 

Note that if a given implementation is not cloneable, it is still possible to compute intermediate digests by instantiating several instances, if the number of digests is known in advance.

Note that this class is abstract and extends from MessageDigestSpi for historical reasons. Application developers should only take notice of the methods defined in this MessageDigest class; all the methods in the superclass are intended for cryptographic service providers who wish to supply their own implementations of message digest algorithms.

                                 throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
Generates a MessageDigest object that implements the specified digest algorithm. If the default provider package provides an implementation of the requested digest algorithm, an instance of MessageDigest containing that implementation is returned. If the algorithm is not available in the default package, other packages are searched.

Parameters:

Returns:
a Message Digest object implementing the specified algorithm.
Throws:
NoSuchAlgorithmException - if the algorithm is not available in the caller's environment.

getInstance

public static MessageDigest getInstance(String algorithm,
                                        String provider)
                                 throws NoSuchAlgorithmException,
                                        NoSuchProviderException
Generates a MessageDigest object implementing the specified algorithm, as supplied from the specified provider, if such an algorithm is available from the provider.

Parameters:
algorithm - the name of the algorithm requested. See Appendix A in the Java Cryptography Architecture API Specification & Reference for information about standard algorithm names.
provider - the name of the provider.
Returns:
a Message Digest object implementing the specified algorithm.
Throws:
NoSuchAlgorithmException - if the algorithm is not available in the package supplied by the requested provider.
NoSuchProviderException - if the provider is not available in the environment.
IllegalArgumentException - if the provider name is null or empty.

Generates a MessageDigest object implementing the specified algorithm, as supplied from the specified provider, if such an algorithm is available from the provider. Note: the provider doesn't have to be registered.
