Class IvParameterSpec

public class IvParameterSpec extends Object implements AlgorithmParameterSpec

A wrapper for an initialization vector. An initialization vector is necessary for any cipher in any feedback mode, e.g. CBC.

Constructor Summary
	IvParameterSpec(byte[] iv) Create a new initialization vector spec from an entire byte array.
	IvParameterSpec(byte[] iv, int off, int len) Create a new initialization vector spec from part of a byte array.

Method Summary
byte[]	getIV() Returns the IV.

Constructor Detail

public IvParameterSpec(byte[] iv)

Parameters: iv The IV bytes.

public IvParameterSpec(byte[] iv, int off, int len)

Create a new initialization vector spec from part of a byte array.

Parameters: iv The IV bytes. off The offset into the IV bytes. len The number of IV bytes.

public byte[] getIV()

Returns the IV. This method does not copy the byte array.

Returns: The IV.
