@Immutable
public class SafeZipRaesDriver
extends ZipRaesDriver

A safe archive driver for RAES encrypted ZIP files (ZIP.RAES). For input archive files up to 512 KB, the cipher text gets authenticated using the RAES provided Message Authentication Code (MAC) before the archive can be accessed by a client application. For larger input archive files, the MAC is not used, but instead the CRC-32 value of the decrypted and deflated archive entries is checked when the archive entry stream is closed by the client application, resulting in some IOException.

This operation mode is considered to be safe: Although a formal prove is missing, it should be computationally infeasible to modify an archive file so that after decryption of the archive and after inflation (decompression) of an entry's data its CRC-32 value still matches! This should hold true even though CRC-32 is not at all a good cryptographic hash function because of its frequent collisions, its linear sink and small sink size. It's the ZIP inflation algorithm which actually comes to our rescue!

Subclasses must be thread-safe and should be immutable!

getAuthenticationTrigger

public final long getAuthenticationTrigger()

Description copied from class: ZipRaesDriver

Returns the value of the property authenticationTrigger.

If the cipher text length of an input RAES file is smaller than or equal to this value, then the Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) for the entire cipher text is computed and verified in order to authenticate the input RAES file.

Otherwise, if the cipher text length of an input RAES file is greater than this value, then initially only the cipher key and the cipher text length getKeyManager authenticated. In addition, whenever an entry is subsequently accessed, then it's CRC-32 value is checked.

Consequently, if the value of this property is set to a negative value, then the entire cipher text gets never authenticated (CRC-32 checking only), and if set to Long.MAX_VALUE, then the entire cipher text gets always authenticated (no CRC-32 checking).

Specified by:

getAuthenticationTrigger in class ZipRaesDriver

Returns:

The value of the property authenticationTrigger.
