Method Detail

encode

public byte[] encode(net.i2p.data.PublicKey point)

Use for on-the-wire. Don't use for unit tests as output will be randomized based on the 'alternative' and the high bits. There are eight possible encodings for any point. Output will look like 256 random bits.

Returns:

"representative", little endian or null on failure

encode

protected static byte[] encode(net.i2p.data.PublicKey point,
                               boolean alternative)

Use for unit tests. Don't use for on-the-wire; use one-arg version. Output will look like 254 random bits. High two bits of rv[31] will be zero. From javascript version documentation: The algorithm can return two different values for a single x coordinate if it's not 0. Which one to return is determined by y coordinate. Since Curve25519 doesn't use y due to optimizations, you should specify a Boolean value as the second argument of the function. It should be unpredictable, because it's recoverable from the representative.

Returns:

"representative", little endian or null on failure

decode

public static net.i2p.data.PublicKey decode(byte[] representative)

From javascript version documentation: Returns an array with the point and the second argument of the corresponding call to the `encode` function. It's also able to return null if the representative is invalid (there are only 10 invalid representatives).

Parameters:

representative - the encoded data, little endian, 32 bytes WILL BE MODIFIED by masking byte 31

Returns:

x or null on failure

decode

public static net.i2p.data.PublicKey decode(AtomicBoolean alternative,
                                            byte[] representative)

From javascript version documentation: Returns an array with the point and the second argument of the corresponding call to the `encode` function. It's also able to return null if the representative is invalid (there are only 10 invalid representatives).

Parameters:

alternative - out parameter, or null if you don't care

representative - the encoded data, little endian, 32 bytes; WILL BE MODIFIED by masking byte 31

Returns:

x or null on failure
