Package org.apache.cayenne.configuration

Class Rot47PasswordEncoder

java.lang.Object

org.apache.cayenne.configuration.Rot47PasswordEncoder

All Implemented Interfaces:

PasswordEncoding

public class Rot47PasswordEncoder
extends Object
implements PasswordEncoding

The ROT-47 password encoder passes the text of the database password through a simple Caesar cipher to obscure the password text. The ROT-47 cipher is similar to the ROT-13 cipher, but processes numbers and symbols as well. See the Wikipedia entry on ROT13 for more information on this topic.

Since:

3.0

Method Detail

decodePassword

public String decodePassword(String encodedPassword,
                             String key)

Description copied from interface: PasswordEncoding

Decodes an encoded database password.

Specified by:

decodePassword in interface PasswordEncoding

Parameters:

encodedPassword - - The encoded password to be decoded

key - - An optional data element which can be used to unlock the password. Some encoders may require the key.

Returns:

The decoded normal/plain password.

encodePassword

public String encodePassword(String normalPassword,
                             String key)

Description copied from interface: PasswordEncoding

Encodes a normal/plain database password.

Specified by:

encodePassword in interface PasswordEncoding

Parameters:

normalPassword - - The normal/plain password to be encoded

key - - An optional data element which can be used to lock the password. Some encoders may require the key.

Returns:

The encoded password.

rotate

public String rotate(String value)

Applies a ROT-47 Caesar cipher to the supplied value. Each letter in the supplied value is substituted with a new value rotated by 47 places. See ROT13 for more information (there is a subsection for ROT-47).

A Unix command to perform a ROT-47 cipher is:

 tr '!-~' 'P-~!-O'
 

Parameters:

value - The text to be rotated.

Returns:

The rotated text.
