Class AbstractHash

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.shiro.codec.CodecSupport
      org.apache.shiro.crypto.hash.AbstractHash

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Hash, ByteSource

Direct Known Subclasses:

SimpleHash

Deprecated. in Shiro 1.1 in favor of using the concrete SimpleHash implementation directly.

@Deprecated
public abstract class AbstractHash
extends CodecSupport
implements Hash, Serializable

Provides a base for all Shiro Hash algorithms with support for salts and multiple hash iterations.

Read http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Hashing_Java for a good article on the benefits of hashing, including what a 'salt' is as well as why it and multiple hash iterations can be useful.

This class and its subclasses support hashing with additional capabilities of salting and multiple iterations via overloaded constructors.

0.9

Constructor Detail

AbstractHash

public AbstractHash()

Deprecated.

Creates an new instance without any of its properties set (no hashing is performed).

Because all constructors in this class (except this one) hash the source constructor argument, this default, no-arg constructor is useful in scenarios when you have a byte array that you know is already hashed and just want to set the bytes in their raw form directly on an instance. After instantiating the instance with this default, no-arg constructor, you can then immediately call setBytes to have a fully-initialized instance.

AbstractHash

public AbstractHash(Object source)
             throws CodecException

Deprecated.

Creates a hash of the specified source with no salt using a single hash iteration.

It is a convenience constructor that merely executes this( source, null, 1);.

Please see the AbstractHash(Object,Object,int) constructor for the types of Objects that may be passed into this constructor, as well as how to support further types.

Parameters:

source - the object to be hashed.

Throws:

CodecException - if the specified source cannot be converted into a byte array (byte[]).

AbstractHash

public AbstractHash(Object source,
                    Object salt)
             throws CodecException

Deprecated.

Creates a hash of the specified source using the given salt using a single hash iteration.

It is a convenience constructor that merely executes this( source, salt, 1);.

Please see the AbstractHash(Object,Object,int) constructor for the types of Objects that may be passed into this constructor, as well as how to support further types.

Parameters:

source - the source object to be hashed.

salt - the salt to use for the hash

Throws:

CodecException - if either constructor argument cannot be converted into a byte array.

AbstractHash

public AbstractHash(Object source,
                    Object salt,
                    int hashIterations)
             throws CodecException

Deprecated.

Creates a hash of the specified source using the given salt a total of hashIterations times.

By default, this class only supports Object method arguments of type byte[], char[], String, File, or InputStream. If either argument is anything other than these types a CodecException will be thrown.

If you want to be able to hash other object types, or use other salt types, you need to override the toBytes(Object) method to support those specific types. Your other option is to convert your arguments to one of the default three supported types first before passing them in to this constructor}.

Parameters:

source - the source object to be hashed.

salt - the salt to use for the hash

hashIterations - the number of times the source argument hashed for attack resiliency.

Throws:

CodecException - if either Object constructor argument cannot be converted into a byte array.

Method Detail

getAlgorithmName

public abstract String getAlgorithmName()

Deprecated.

Implemented by subclasses, this specifies the MessageDigest algorithm name to use when performing the hash.

Specified by:

getAlgorithmName in interface Hash

Returns:

the MessageDigest algorithm name to use when performing the hash.

getBytes

public byte[] getBytes()

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: ByteSource

Returns the wrapped byte array.

Specified by:

getBytes in interface ByteSource

Returns:

the wrapped byte array.

setBytes

public void setBytes(byte[] alreadyHashedBytes)

Deprecated.

Sets the raw bytes stored by this hash instance.

The bytes are kept in raw form - they will not be hashed/changed. This is primarily a utility method for constructing a Hash instance when the hashed value is already known.

Parameters:

alreadyHashedBytes - the raw already-hashed bytes to store in this instance.

getDigest

protected MessageDigest getDigest(String algorithmName)
                           throws UnknownAlgorithmException

Deprecated.

Returns the JDK MessageDigest instance to use for executing the hash.

Parameters:

algorithmName - the algorithm to use for the hash, provided by subclasses.

Returns:

the MessageDigest object for the specified algorithm.

Throws:

UnknownAlgorithmException - if the specified algorithm name is not available.

hash

protected byte[] hash(byte[] bytes)

Deprecated.

Hashes the specified byte array without a salt for a single iteration.

Parameters:

bytes - the bytes to hash.

Returns:

the hashed bytes.

hash

protected byte[] hash(byte[] bytes,
                      byte[] salt)

Deprecated.

Hashes the specified byte array using the given salt for a single iteration.

Parameters:

bytes - the bytes to hash

salt - the salt to use for the initial hash

Returns:

the hashed bytes

hash

protected byte[] hash(byte[] bytes,
                      byte[] salt,
                      int hashIterations)
               throws UnknownAlgorithmException

Deprecated.

Hashes the specified byte array using the given salt for the specified number of iterations.

Parameters:

bytes - the bytes to hash

salt - the salt to use for the initial hash

hashIterations - the number of times the the bytes will be hashed (for attack resiliency).

Returns:

the hashed bytes.

Throws:

UnknownAlgorithmException - if the algorithmName is not available.

toHex

public String toHex()

Deprecated.

Returns a hex-encoded string of the underlying byte array.

This implementation caches the resulting hex string so multiple calls to this method remain efficient. However, calling setBytes will null the cached value, forcing it to be recalculated the next time this method is called.

Specified by:

toHex in interface ByteSource

Returns:

a hex-encoded string of the underlying byte array.

toBase64

public String toBase64()

Deprecated.

Returns a Base64-encoded string of the underlying byte array.

This implementation caches the resulting Base64 string so multiple calls to this method remain efficient. However, calling setBytes will null the cached value, forcing it to be recalculated the next time this method is called.

Specified by:

toBase64 in interface ByteSource

Returns:

a Base64-encoded string of the underlying byte array.

toString

public String toString()

Deprecated.

Simple implementation that merely returns toHex().

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

the toHex() value.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Deprecated.

Returns true if the specified object is a Hash and its byte array is identical to this Hash's byte array, false otherwise.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

o - the object (Hash) to check for equality.

Returns:

true if the specified object is a Hash and its byte array is identical to this Hash's byte array, false otherwise.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Deprecated.

Simply returns toHex().hashCode();

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

toHex().hashCode()
