SecurityTextType Tutorial

This tutorial provides an overview of the SecurityTextType interface, which is part of the lightweight-component/aj-util library. The SecurityTextType interface defines enums for various security-related text encoding and hashing types.

Introduction

The SecurityTextType interface contains nested enums that categorize different types of:

• Text encoding formats
• Digest (hash) algorithms
• Cryptographic operations

Enums

1. Encode

Defines various text encoding formats:

1. BASE16 - Hexadecimal encoding
2. BASE32 - Base32 encoding
3. BASE58 - Base58 encoding (used in Bitcoin)
4. BASE64 - Base64 encoding
5. BASE91 - Base91 encoding

2. Digest

Defines message digest (hash) algorithms:

1. Md5 - MD5 hash
2. Md5WithSalt - MD5 hash with salt

3. Cryptography

Currently empty, reserved for future cryptographic operation types.

Usage Examples

SecurityTextType.Encode encoding = SecurityTextType.Encode.BASE64;
SecurityTextType.Digest digest = SecurityTextType.Digest.Md5WithSalt;

Conclusion

The SecurityTextType interface provides a type-safe way to reference different security-related text encoding and hashing algorithms throughout the application.
