Class CryptoJ

java.lang.Object
  com.rsa.jsafe.CryptoJ

public final class CryptoJ

extends Object

This is the Crypto-J "master class." It keeps the version number and enables FIPS-related self-testing on a FIPS-validated version of the toolkit.

CryptoJ has methods to allow the user run the FIPS-required power-up self-tests on demand and get their status, methods to set and query the user role, and methods to get and set the library to fips or non-fips mode. These methods are not available on a non-fips library.

The FIPS version of CryptoJ executes power-up self-tests automatically upon startup and conditional tests at runtime. Upon startup failure, the the toolkit enters a FAILED state preventing further operation.

See Overview of Crypto-J for background and reference material on using and understanding Crypto-J.

savedXKEYBytes

public static byte[] savedXKEYBytes

saved XKEY bytes for testing a fips 186 random and acts as a flag

getInstance

public static CryptoJ getInstance()

A factory method that gets a CryptoJ instance.

getSeeder

public static SecureRandom getSeeder()

Returns the global seed generator.

This method is a convenience for users that may need to rely on autoseeding. It allows access to the library's shared seed generation object. Crypto-J keeps a globaly shared SecureRandom of the default provider from which it extracts seed bytes in order to seed other random number generators. These bytes are computed using the seed generation algorithm that this class of teh default provider uses to seed itself. The caller may add entropy to this object or trigger autoseeding at a time convenient to the application.

Returns:

the Crypto-J global seed generator

isFIPS140Compliant

public static final boolean isFIPS140Compliant()

Indicates whether this toolkit is FIPS 140-2 compliant. If it is compliant, then methods to query and set the FIPS mode, the user role, and run the power-up tests are available; otherwise, these methods are not available.

There is no enforcement of algorithm selection on FIPS_MODE, the caller is resposible for choosing the proper algorithms.

Returns:

true if this is a FIPS 140-2 compliant library; otherwise, false.

See Also:

getState(), getMode(), setMode(int), getRole(), setRole(int), selfTestPassed(), runSelfTests()

getState

public static int getState()

Queries the toolkit execution state on a FIPS-validated toolkit.

The execution state, NOT_INITIALIZED, UNDER_SELF_TEST, OPERATIONAL, or FAILED.

See Also:

isFIPS140Compliant()

getMode

public static int getMode()

Returns the mode, either FIPS or NON-FIPS. The FIPS mode is meaningful only an a FIPS-validated library.

Returns:

The mode: FIPS_MODE or NON_FIPS_MODE.

setMode

public static void setMode(int newMode)
                    throws JSAFE_InvalidUseException

Sets the FIPS mode to newMode. The paramater newMode must be one of FIPS_MODE or NON_FIPS_MODE and the library must be a FIPS validated library. There is no enforcement of algorithm selection on FIPS_MODE, the caller is resposible for choosing the proper algorithms.

Parameters:

runSelfTests

public static boolean runSelfTests()
                            throws JSAFE_InvalidUseException

Runs the FIPS 140 required power-up self-tests on demand. For use by the Crypto Officer with a FIPS-validated toolkit.

These tests consist of the algorithm known answer tests plus pairwise consisency checks on DSA and RSA key pair generation.

Returns:

fips186RandomClearQ
