Method Detail

appendFormattedByte

public static void appendFormattedByte(Appendable buffer,
                       byte byteValue)

Prints a byte value to a StringBuffer as a double digit hex value.

Since:

1.2 Since 3.0 signature has changed to take Appendable argument.

pseudoUniqueByteSequence

public static byte[] pseudoUniqueByteSequence(int length)

Parameters:

length - the length of returned byte[]

Returns:

A pseudo-unique byte array of the specified length. Length must be at least 16 bytes, or an exception is thrown.

Since:

1.0.2

pseudoUniqueSecureByteSequence

public static byte[] pseudoUniqueSecureByteSequence(int length)

pseudoUniqueByteSequence8

public static final byte[] pseudoUniqueByteSequence8()

pseudoUniqueByteSequence16

public static final byte[] pseudoUniqueByteSequence16()

Returns:

A pseudo unique 16-byte array.

pseudoUniqueSecureByteSequence16

public static byte[] pseudoUniqueSecureByteSequence16()

Returns:

A pseudo unique digested 16-byte array.
