Class PrfBasedKeyDerivationKey


  • public final class PrfBasedKeyDerivationKey
    extends KeyDerivationKey
    Represents a Derivation key which is based on a PRF.

    An object of this class represents the map which 1) uses the given PRF (as specified by getPrfKey()) to get sufficient key material from the salt, then 2) creates a key for the parameters as specified in getParameters().getDerivedKeyParameters().

      • getPrfKey

        public PrfKey getPrfKey()
      • getParameters

        public PrfBasedKeyDerivationParameters getParameters()
        Description copied from class: Key
        Returns a Parameters object containing all the information about the key which is not randomly chosen.

        Implementations need to ensure that getParameters().hasIdRequirement() returns true if and only if getIdRequirementOrNull is non-null.

      • getIdRequirementOrNull

        @Nullable
        public java.lang.Integer getIdRequirementOrNull()
        Description copied from class: Key
        Returns null if this key has no id requirement, otherwise the required id.

        Some keys, when they are in a keyset, are required to have a certain ID to work properly. This comes from the fact that Tink in some cases prefixes ciphertexts or signatures with the string 0x01<id>, where the ID is encoded in big endian (see the documentation of the key type for details), in which case the key requires a certain ID.

      • equalsKey

        public boolean equalsKey​(Key other)
        Description copied from class: Key
        Returns true if the key is guaranteed to be equal to other.

        Implementations are required to do this in constant time.

        Note: this is allowed to return false even if two keys are guaranteed to represent the same function, but are represented differently. For example, a key is allowed to internally store the number of zero-bytes used as padding when a large number is represented as a byte array, and use this in the comparison.

        Note: Tink Key objects should typically not override hashCode (because it could risk leaking key material). Hence, they typically also should not override equals.
