Class PasswordFactory

java.lang.Object

org.wildfly.security.password.PasswordFactory

public final class PasswordFactory
extends Object

A factory for passwords.

Password factories are used to handle and manipulate password objects and their corresponding password specifications. Passwords are a kind of key which are used to store and compare against a string of text entered by a human. Passwords can be one-way (OneWayPassword) or two-way (TwoWayPassword).

getProvider

public Provider getProvider()

Get the provider of this password factory.

Returns:

the provider

getAlgorithm

public String getAlgorithm()

Get the algorithm of this password factory.

Returns:

the algorithm

generatePassword

public Password generatePassword(KeySpec keySpec)
                          throws InvalidKeySpecException

Generate a new Password object for the given specification.

Parameters:

keySpec - the specification

Returns:

the password object

Throws:

InvalidKeySpecException - if the key specification is not valid for this algorithm

getKeySpec

public <T extends KeySpec> T getKeySpec(Password password,
                                        Class<T> specType)

Generate a key specification of the given type from the given password object.

Type Parameters:

T - the specification type

Parameters:

password - the password object

specType - the specification class

Returns:

the key specification

Throws:

InvalidKeySpecException - if the password cannot be translated to the given key specification type

convertibleToKeySpec

public <T extends KeySpec> boolean convertibleToKeySpec(Password password,

Determine whether the given password can be converted to the given key specification type by this factory.

Type Parameters:

T - the specification type

Parameters:

password - the password object

specType - the specification class

Returns:

true if the password can be converted, false otherwise

isTranslatable

public boolean isTranslatable(Password password)

Determine whether the given password can be translated into one which is consumable by this factory. If this method returns true, then translate(Password) will succeed.

Parameters:

password - the password object

Returns:

true if the given password is supported by this algorithm, false otherwise

translate

public Password translate(Password password)
                   throws InvalidKeyException

Translate the given password object to one which is consumable by this factory.

Parameters:

password - the password object

Returns:

the equivalent password object that this factory can work with

Throws:

InvalidKeyException - if the given password is not supported by this algorithm

verify

public boolean verify(Password password,
                      char[] guess)
               throws InvalidKeyException

Verify a password guess.

Parameters:

password - the password object

guess - the guessed password characters

Throws:

InvalidKeyException - if the given password is not supported by this factory

transform

public Password transform(Password password,
                          AlgorithmParameterSpec parameterSpec)

                          InvalidAlgorithmParameterException

Transform a password with new parameters. Not every transformation is allowed, but iterative password types generally should allow increasing the number of iterations.

Parameters:

password - the password

parameterSpec - the new parameters

Returns:

the transformed password

Throws:

InvalidKeyException - if the given password is invalid

InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - if the transformation cannot be applied to the given parameters
