Class STSVerify

java.lang.Object

  +--ostore.mac.STSVerify

All Implemented Interfaces:

QuickSerializable

public class STSVerify

extends Object

implements QuickSerializable

Specifically made for the Station-to-Station Protocol to send public keys back and forth. Tailored for and used specifically by HMACDHHandler.

refer to the 1992 Codes and Cryptography paper by Diffie and Hellman on STS. (note we've been using the suggestion at the end of the paper: using a MAC instead of encryption as part of the algorithm)
