Class EncryptionUtils

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.security.util.EncryptionUtils

Deprecated. Use a dedicated encryption library instead.

@Deprecated
public final class EncryptionUtils
extends Object

A static utility class that can encrypt and decrypt text.

This class is useful if you have simple needs and wish to use the DESede encryption cipher. More sophisticated requirements will need to use the Java crypto libraries directly.

Parameters:

input - the input (required)

Returns:

a byte array representation of the input string

byteArrayToString

public static String byteArrayToString(byte[] byteArray)

Deprecated.

Converts a byte array into a String using UTF-8, falling back to the platform's default character set if UTF-8 fails.

Parameters:

byteArray - the byte array to convert (required)

Returns:

a string representation of the byte array

encrypt

public static String encrypt(String key,
