CipherInputStream

open class CipherInputStream : FilterInputStream
kotlin.Any
   ↳ java.io.InputStream
   ↳ java.io.FilterInputStream
   ↳ javax.crypto.CipherInputStream

A CipherInputStream is composed of an InputStream and a Cipher so that read() methods return data that are read in from the underlying InputStream but have been additionally processed by the Cipher. The Cipher must be fully initialized before being used by a CipherInputStream.

For example, if the Cipher is initialized for decryption, the CipherInputStream will attempt to read in data and decrypt them, before returning the decrypted data.

This class adheres strictly to the semantics, especially the failure semantics, of its ancestor classes java.io.FilterInputStream and java.io.InputStream. This class has exactly those methods specified in its ancestor classes, and overrides them all. Moreover, this class catches all exceptions that are not thrown by its ancestor classes. In particular, the skip method skips, and the available method counts only data that have been processed by the encapsulated Cipher.

It is crucial for a programmer using this class not to use methods that are not defined or overriden in this class (such as a new method or constructor that is later added to one of the super classes), because the design and implementation of those methods are unlikely to have considered security impact with regard to CipherInputStream.

Summary

Public constructors

Constructs a CipherInputStream from an InputStream and a Cipher.

Protected constructors

Constructs a CipherInputStream from an InputStream without specifying a Cipher.

Public methods
open Int

Returns the number of bytes that can be read from this input stream without blocking.

open Unit

Closes this input stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream.

open Boolean

Tests if this input stream supports the mark and reset methods, which it does not.

open Int

Reads the next byte of data from this input stream.

open Int

Reads up to b.length bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes.

open Int
read(b: ByteArray!, off: Int, len: Int)

Reads up to len bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes.

open Long
skip(n: Long)

Skips n bytes of input from the bytes that can be read from this input stream without blocking.

Public constructors

CipherInputStream

Added in API level 1
CipherInputStream(
    is: InputStream!,
    c: Cipher!)

Constructs a CipherInputStream from an InputStream and a Cipher.
Note: if the specified input stream or cipher is null, a NullPointerException may be thrown later when they are used.

Parameters
is InputStream!: the to-be-processed input stream
c Cipher!: an initialized Cipher object

Protected constructors

CipherInputStream

Added in API level 1
protected CipherInputStream(is: InputStream!)

Constructs a CipherInputStream from an InputStream without specifying a Cipher. This has the effect of constructing a CipherInputStream using a NullCipher.
Note: if the specified input stream is null, a NullPointerException may be thrown later when it is used.

Parameters
is InputStream!: the to-be-processed input stream

Public methods

available

Added in API level 1
open fun available(): Int

Returns the number of bytes that can be read from this input stream without blocking. The available method of InputStream returns 0. This method should be overridden by subclasses.

Return
Int the number of bytes that can be read from this input stream without blocking.
Exceptions
java.io.IOException if an I/O error occurs.
java.io.IOException if an I/O error occurs.

close

Added in API level 1
open fun close(): Unit

Closes this input stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream.

The close method of CipherInputStream calls the close method of its underlying input stream.

Exceptions
java.lang.Exception if this resource cannot be closed
java.io.IOException if an I/O error occurs.
java.io.IOException if an I/O error occurs.

markSupported

Added in API level 1
open fun markSupported(): Boolean

Tests if this input stream supports the mark and reset methods, which it does not.

Return
Boolean false, since this class does not support the mark and reset methods.

read

Added in API level 1
open fun read(): Int

Reads the next byte of data from this input stream. The value byte is returned as an int in the range 0 to 255. If no byte is available because the end of the stream has been reached, the value -1 is returned. This method blocks until input data is available, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

Return
Int the next byte of data, or -1 if the end of the stream is reached.
Exceptions
java.io.IOException if an I/O error occurs.
java.io.IOException if an I/O error occurs.

read

Added in API level 1
open fun read(b: ByteArray!): Int

Reads up to b.length bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes.

The read method of InputStream calls the read method of three arguments with the arguments b, 0, and b.length.

Parameters
b ByteArray!: the buffer into which the data is read.
Return
Int the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or -1 is there is no more data because the end of the stream has been reached.
Exceptions
java.io.IOException If the first byte cannot be read for any reason other than the end of the file, if the input stream has been closed, or if some other I/O error occurs.
java.lang.NullPointerException if b is null.
java.io.IOException if an I/O error occurs.

read

Added in API level 1
open fun read(
    b: ByteArray!,
    off: Int,
    len: Int
): Int

Reads up to len bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes. This method blocks until some input is available. If the first argument is null, up to len bytes are read and discarded.

Parameters
b ByteArray!: the buffer into which the data is read.
off Int: the start offset in the destination array buf
len Int: the maximum number of bytes read.
Return
Int the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or -1 if there is no more data because the end of the stream has been reached.
Exceptions
java.io.IOException If the first byte cannot be read for any reason other than end of file, or if the input stream has been closed, or if some other I/O error occurs.
java.lang.NullPointerException If b is null.
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException If off is negative, len is negative, or len is greater than b.length - off
java.io.IOException if an I/O error occurs.

skip

Added in API level 1
open fun skip(n: Long): Long

Skips n bytes of input from the bytes that can be read from this input stream without blocking.

Fewer bytes than requested might be skipped. The actual number of bytes skipped is equal to n or the result of a call to #available(), whichever is smaller. If n is less than zero, no bytes are skipped.

The actual number of bytes skipped is returned.

Parameters
n Long: the number of bytes to be skipped.
Return
Long the actual number of bytes skipped.
Exceptions
java.io.IOException if in.skip(n) throws an IOException.
java.io.IOException if an I/O error occurs.
