Method Detail

encodeString

public static final String encodeString(String sPhrase)
                                 throws RuntimeException

Retrieves a hexadecimal character sequence representing the MD5 digest of the specified character sequence by using ISO-8859-1 encoding

Parameters:

sPhrase - the string to encode.

Returns:

a hexadecimal character sequence representing the MD5 digest of the specified string

Throws:

RuntimeException - if an MD5 digest algorithm is not available through the java.security.MessageDigest spi

byteToHex

public static String byteToHex(byte[] b)

Converts a byte-Array to hexadecimal string

Parameters:

b - the byte[] to be converted

Returns:

hexadecimal string

digestString

public static byte[] digestString(String sPhrase)
                           throws RuntimeException

Retrieves a byte sequence that represents the MD5 digest string. Used encoding is ISO-8859-1

Parameters:

sPhrase - the string to digest.

Returns:

the digest as an array of 16 bytes.

Throws:

RuntimeException - if an MD5 digest algorithm is not available through the java.security.MessageDigest spi

digestBytes

public static final byte[] digestBytes(byte[] bData)
                                throws RuntimeException

Retrieves a byte sequence representing the MD5 digest of the specified byte sequence.

Parameters:

bData - the data to digest.

Returns:

the MD5 digest as an array of 16 bytes.

Throws:

RuntimeException - if an MD5 digest algorithm is not available through the java.security.MessageDigest spi
