    • isWeakKey

      public static boolean isWeakKey(byte[] key, int offset)
      DES has 16 weak keys. This method will check if the given DES key material is weak or semi-weak. Key material that is too short is regarded as weak.

      See "Applied Cryptography" by Bruce Schneier for more information.

      Returns:
      true if the given DES key material is weak or semi-weak, false otherwise.
    • setOddParity

      public static void setOddParity(byte[] bytes)
      DES Keys use the LSB as the odd parity bit. This can be used to check for corrupt keys.
      Parameters:
      bytes - the byte array to set the parity on.
