GCMParameterSpec

public class GCMParameterSpec
extends Object implements AlgorithmParameterSpec

java.lang.Object
↳	javax.crypto.spec.GCMParameterSpec

Specifies the set of parameters required by a Cipher using the Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) mode.

Simple block cipher modes (such as CBC) generally require only an initialization vector (such as IvParameterSpec), but GCM needs these parameters:

IV: Initialization Vector (IV)
tLen: length (in bits) of authentication tag T

In addition to the parameters described here, other GCM inputs/output (Additional Authenticated Data (AAD), Keys, block ciphers, plain/ciphertext and authentication tags) are handled in the Cipher class.

Please see RFC 5116 for more information on the Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) algorithm, and NIST Special Publication 800-38D, "NIST Recommendation for Block Cipher Modes of Operation: Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) and GMAC."

The GCM specification states that tLen may only have the values {128, 120, 112, 104, 96}, or {64, 32} for certain applications. Other values can be specified for this class, but not all CSP implementations will support them.

Summary

Public constructors
`GCMParameterSpec(int tLen, byte[] src)` Constructs a GCMParameterSpec using the specified authentication tag bit-length and IV buffer.
`GCMParameterSpec(int tLen, byte[] src, int offset, int len)` Constructs a GCMParameterSpec object using the specified authentication tag bit-length and a subset of the specified buffer as the IV.

Public methods
`byte[]`	`getIV()` Returns the Initialization Vector (IV).
`int`	`getTLen()` Returns the authentication tag length.

From class


  
    java.lang.Object

`Object`	`clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void`	`notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait(long millis, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long millis)` Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object.
