Java Cryptography

Name

Class java.security.MessageDigestSpi

Description

This is the Service Provider Interface for the message digest engine; if you want to implement your own message digest class, you do so by extending this class and registering your implementation with an appropriate security provider. Because the MessageDigest class itself extends this class, you may also extend the MessageDigest class directly. Implementations of this class are expected to accumulate a hash value over data that is fed to it as a series of arbitrary bytes.
