Detailed Description

Provides range for plaintext and ciphertext lengths.

A trapdoor function is a function that is easy to compute in one direction, but difficult to compute in the opposite direction without special knowledge. The special knowledge is usually the private key.

Trapdoor functions only handle messages of a limited length or size. MaxPreimage is the plaintext's maximum length, and MaxImage is the ciphertext's maximum length.

ImageBound()

virtual Integer TrapdoorFunctionBounds::ImageBound ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the maximum size of a representation after the trapdoor function is applied.

Returns

the maximum size of a representation after the trapdoor function is applied

Derived classes must implement ImageBound().

Implemented in ESIGNFunction, LUCFunction, RabinFunction, RSAFunction, and RWFunction.

MaxImage()

virtual Integer TrapdoorFunctionBounds::MaxImage ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the maximum size of a representation after the trapdoor function is applied bound to a public key.

Returns

the maximum size of a representation after the trapdoor function is applied bound to a public key

The default implementation returns ImageBound() - 1.

Definition at line 92 of file pubkey.h.

MaxPreimage()

virtual Integer TrapdoorFunctionBounds::MaxPreimage ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the maximum size of a message before the trapdoor function is applied bound to a public key.

Returns

the maximum size of a message before the trapdoor function is applied bound to a public key

The default implementation returns PreimageBound() - 1.

PreimageBound()

virtual Integer TrapdoorFunctionBounds::PreimageBound ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the maximum size of a message before the trapdoor function is applied.

Returns

the maximum size of a message before the trapdoor function is applied
