Class StringFixedSaltGenerator

Object
  org.jasypt.salt.StringFixedSaltGenerator

All Implemented Interfaces:

FixedSaltGenerator, SaltGenerator

public class StringFixedSaltGenerator
extends Object
implements FixedSaltGenerator

String based implementation of FixedSaltGenerator, that will always return the same salt. This salt is returned as bytes using the specified charset for conversion (UTF-8 by default).

If the requested salt has a size in bytes smaller than the specified salt, the first n bytes are returned. If it is larger, an exception is thrown.

This class is thread-safe.

Constructor Summary

StringFixedSaltGenerator(String salt)
Creates a new instance of FixedStringSaltGenerator using the default charset.

StringFixedSaltGenerator(String salt, String charset)
Creates a new instance of FixedStringSaltGenerator

Method Summary

byte[]	generateSalt(int lengthBytes) Return salt with the specified byte length.
boolean	includePlainSaltInEncryptionResults() As this salt generator provides a fixed salt, its inclusion unencrypted in encryption results is not necessary, and in fact not desirable (so that it remains hidden).
