Class DefaultEncryptedProperties

java.lang.Object
  org.owasp.esapi.reference.crypto.DefaultEncryptedProperties

All Implemented Interfaces:

EncryptedProperties

public class DefaultEncryptedProperties
extends java.lang.Object
implements EncryptedProperties

Reference implementation of the EncryptedProperties interface. This implementation wraps a normal properties file, and creates surrogates for the getProperty and setProperty methods that perform encryption and decryption based on Encryptor.

A very simple main program is provided that can be used to create an encrypted properties file. A better approach would be to allow unencrypted properties in the file and to encrypt them the first time the file is accessed.

Constructor Summary

DefaultEncryptedProperties()
Instantiates a new encrypted properties.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getProperty(java.lang.String key) Gets the property value from the encrypted store, decrypts it, and returns the plaintext value to the caller.
java.util.Set	keySet() Returns a Set view of properties.
void	load(java.io.InputStream in) Reads a property list (key and element pairs) from the input stream.
static void	main(java.lang.String[] args) Deprecated. Use EncryptedPropertiesUtils instead, which allows creating, reading, and writing encrypted properties.
java.lang.String	setProperty(java.lang.String key, java.lang.String value) Encrypts the plaintext property value and stores the ciphertext value in the encrypted store.
void	store(java.io.OutputStream out, java.lang.String comments) Writes this property list (key and element pairs) in this Properties table to the output stream in a format suitable for loading into a Properties table using the load method.

Constructor Detail

DefaultEncryptedProperties

public DefaultEncryptedProperties()

Instantiates a new encrypted properties.

Method Detail

getProperty

public java.lang.String getProperty(java.lang.String key)
                             throws EncryptionException

Gets the property value from the encrypted store, decrypts it, and returns the plaintext value to the caller.

Specified by:

getProperty in interface EncryptedProperties

Parameters:

key - the name of the property to get

Returns:

The decrypted property value. null if the key is not set.

Throws:

EncryptionException - if the property could not be decrypted

setProperty

public java.lang.String setProperty(java.lang.String key,
                                    java.lang.String value)
                             throws EncryptionException

Encrypts the plaintext property value and stores the ciphertext value in the encrypted store.

Specified by:

setProperty in interface EncryptedProperties

Parameters:

key - the name of the property to set

value - the value of the property to set

Returns:

the previously encrypted property value for the specified key, or null if it did not have one.

Throws:

EncryptionException - if the property could not be encrypted

keySet

public java.util.Set keySet()

Returns a Set view of properties. The Set is backed by a Hashtable, so changes to the Hashtable are reflected in the Set, and vice-versa. The Set supports element removal (which removes the corresponding entry from the Hashtable), but not element addition.

Specified by:

keySet in interface EncryptedProperties

Returns:

a set view of the properties contained in this map.

load

public void load(java.io.InputStream in)
          throws java.io.IOException

Reads a property list (key and element pairs) from the input stream.

Specified by:

load in interface EncryptedProperties

Parameters:

in - the input stream that contains the properties file

Throws:

java.io.IOException - Signals that an I/O exception has occurred.

store

public void store(java.io.OutputStream out,
                  java.lang.String comments)
           throws java.io.IOException

Writes this property list (key and element pairs) in this Properties table to the output stream in a format suitable for loading into a Properties table using the load method.

Specified by:

store in interface EncryptedProperties

Parameters:

out - the output stream that contains the properties file

comments - a description of the property list (ex. "Encrypted Properties File").

Throws:

java.io.IOException - Signals that an I/O exception has occurred.

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
                 throws java.lang.Exception

Deprecated. Use EncryptedPropertiesUtils instead, which allows creating, reading, and writing encrypted properties.

Loads encrypted properties file based on the location passed in args then prompts the user to input key-value pairs. When the user enters a null or blank key, the values are stored to the properties file.

Parameters:

args - the location of the properties file to load and write to

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - Any exception thrown
