interface Padding {

    
Adds the given number of padding bytes to the data input.
The value of the padding bytes is determined
by the specific padding mechanism that implements this
interface.

Params:
  • in – the input buffer with the data to pad
  • the – offset in in where the padding bytes
 are appended
  • len – the number of padding bytes to add
Throws:
/**

     * @param the offset in <code>in</code> where the padding bytes
     *  are appended
     * @param len the number of padding bytes to add
     *
     * @exception ShortBufferException if <code>in</code> is too small to hold
     * the padding bytes
     */
    void padWithLen(byte[] in, int off, int len) throws ShortBufferException;

    
Returns the index where padding starts.

Given a buffer with data and their padding, this method returns the
index where the padding starts.

Params:
  • in – the buffer with the data and their padding
  • off – the offset in in where the data starts
  • len – the length of the data and their padding
Returns:the index where the padding starts, or -1 if the input is
not properly padded

Determines how long the padding will be for a given input length.

Params:

Returns:the length of the padding
