javax.crypto.CipherSpi
This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the Cipher class. All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each cryptographic service provider who wishes to supply the implementation of a particular cipher algorithm.
In order to create an instance of Cipher, which encapsulates an instance of this CipherSpi class, an application calls one of the getInstance factory methods of the Cipher engine class and specifies the requested transformation. Optionally, the application may also specify the name of a provider.
A transformation is a string that describes the operation (or set of operations) to be performed on the given input, to produce some output. A transformation always includes the name of a cryptographic algorithm (e.g., AES), and may be followed by a feedback mode and padding scheme.
A transformation is of the form:
algorithm/mode/padding or
algorithm
(in the latter case, provider-specific default values for the mode and padding scheme are used). For example, the following is a valid transformation:
Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance(`AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding`);
A provider may supply a separate class for each combination of algorithm/mode/padding, or may decide to provide more generic classes representing sub-transformations corresponding to algorithm or algorithm/mode or algorithm//padding (note the double slashes), in which case the requested mode and/or padding are set automatically by the getInstance methods of Cipher, which invoke the engineSetMode and engineSetPadding methods of the provider's subclass of CipherSpi.
A Cipher property in a provider master class may have one of the following formats:
// provider's subclass of `CipherSpi` implements `algName` with
// pluggable mode and padding
Cipher.algName
// provider's subclass of `CipherSpi` implements `algName` in the
// specified `mode`, with pluggable padding
Cipher.algName/mode
// provider's subclass of `CipherSpi` implements `algName` with the
// specified `padding`, with pluggable mode
Cipher.algName//padding
// provider's subclass of `CipherSpi` implements `algName` with the
// specified `mode` and `padding`
Cipher.algName/mode/padding
For example, a provider may supply a subclass of CipherSpi that implements AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding, one that implements AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding, one that implements AES/CFB/PKCS5Padding, and yet another one that implements AES/OFB/PKCS5Padding. That provider would have the following Cipher properties in its master class:
Cipher.AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding
Cipher.AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding
Cipher.AES/CFB/PKCS5Padding
Cipher.AES/OFB/PKCS5Padding
Another provider may implement a class for each of the above modes (i.e., one class for ECB, one for CBC, one for CFB, and one for OFB), one class for PKCS5Padding, and a generic AES class that subclasses from CipherSpi. That provider would have the following Cipher properties in its master class:
Cipher.AES
The getInstance factory method of the Cipher
engine class follows these rules in order to instantiate a provider's
implementation of CipherSpi for a
transformation of the form algorithm:
Check if the provider has registered a subclass of CipherSpi
for the specified algorithm.
If the answer is YES, instantiate this
class, for whose mode and padding scheme default values (as supplied by
the provider) are used.
If the answer is NO, throw a NoSuchAlgorithmException
exception.
The getInstance factory method of the Cipher
engine class follows these rules in order to instantiate a provider's
implementation of CipherSpi for a
transformation of the form algorithm/mode/padding:
Check if the provider has registered a subclass of CipherSpi
for the specified algorithm/mode/padding transformation.
If the answer is YES, instantiate it.
If the answer is NO, go to the next step.
Check if the provider has registered a subclass of CipherSpi
for the sub-transformation algorithm/mode.
If the answer is YES, instantiate it, and call
engineSetPadding(padding) on the new instance.
If the answer is NO, go to the next step.
Check if the provider has registered a subclass of CipherSpi
for the sub-transformation algorithm//padding (note the double
slashes).
If the answer is YES, instantiate it, and call
engineSetMode(mode) on the new instance.
If the answer is NO, go to the next step.
Check if the provider has registered a subclass of CipherSpi
for the sub-transformation algorithm.

This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI)
for the Cipher class.
All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each
cryptographic service provider who wishes to supply the implementation
of a particular cipher algorithm.
In order to create an instance of Cipher, which
encapsulates an instance of this CipherSpi class, an
application calls one of the
getInstance
factory methods of the
Cipher engine class and specifies the requested
transformation.
Optionally, the application may also specify the name of a provider.
A transformation is a string that describes the operation (or
set of operations) to be performed on the given input, to produce some
output. A transformation always includes the name of a cryptographic
algorithm (e.g., AES), and may be followed by a feedback mode and
padding scheme.
A transformation is of the form:
`algorithm/mode/padding` or
`algorithm`
(in the latter case,
provider-specific default values for the mode and padding scheme are used).
For example, the following is a valid transformation:
Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance(`AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding`);
A provider may supply a separate class for each combination
of algorithm/mode/padding, or may decide to provide more generic
classes representing sub-transformations corresponding to
algorithm or algorithm/mode or algorithm//padding
(note the double slashes),
in which case the requested mode and/or padding are set automatically by
the getInstance methods of Cipher, which invoke
the engineSetMode and
engineSetPadding
methods of the provider's subclass of CipherSpi.
A Cipher property in a provider master class may have one of
the following formats:
// provider's subclass of `CipherSpi` implements `algName` with
// pluggable mode and padding
Cipher.algName
// provider's subclass of `CipherSpi` implements `algName` in the
// specified `mode`, with pluggable padding
Cipher.algName/mode
// provider's subclass of `CipherSpi` implements `algName` with the
// specified `padding`, with pluggable mode
Cipher.algName//padding
// provider's subclass of `CipherSpi` implements `algName` with the
// specified `mode` and `padding`
Cipher.algName/mode/padding
For example, a provider may supply a subclass of CipherSpi
that implements AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding, one that implements
AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding, one that implements
AES/CFB/PKCS5Padding, and yet another one that implements
AES/OFB/PKCS5Padding. That provider would have the following
Cipher properties in its master class:
Cipher.AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding
Cipher.AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding
Cipher.AES/CFB/PKCS5Padding
Cipher.AES/OFB/PKCS5Padding
Another provider may implement a class for each of the above modes
(i.e., one class for ECB, one for CBC, one for CFB,
and one for OFB), one class for PKCS5Padding,
and a generic AES class that subclasses from CipherSpi.
That provider would have the following
Cipher properties in its master class:
Cipher.AES

for the specified `algorithm`.
If the answer is YES, instantiate this
class, for whose mode and padding scheme default values (as supplied by
the provider) are used.
If the answer is NO, throw a NoSuchAlgorithmException
exception.
