DES Operation Modes in JCE

This section describes what DES operation modes are implemented in the JDK JCE package, and how to use them.

Sun has implemented all 4 operation modes described above in their JDK JCE (Java Cryptography Extension) package. To use DES operation modes properly, you need to:

1. Specify the operation mode name as part of the algorithm name when calling Cipher.getInstance(algorithm) to create a cipher object like:

   Cipher cObj1 = Cipher.getInstance("DES/ECB/NoPadding");
   Cipher cObj2 = Cipher.getInstance("DES/CBC/NoPadding");
   Cipher cObj3 = Cipher.getInstance("DES/CFB/NoPadding");
   Cipher cObj4 = Cipher.getInstance("DES/OFB/NoPadding");

2. Initialize the cipher object with the key and the IV (Initial Vector) by using the IvParameterSpec class like:

   AlgorithmParameterSpec apsObj = new IvParameterSpec(theIV);
   cObj.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, keyObj, apsObj);
