Interface CipherVersion

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<CipherVersion>, org.refcodes.mixin.UniversalIdAccessor

All Known Implementing Classes:

CipherVersionImpl

public interface CipherVersion
extends org.refcodes.mixin.UniversalIdAccessor, Comparable<CipherVersion>

A CipherVersion represents a cipher (used for symmetric encryption respectively decryption) related to a cypher's version (UID). Implementation specific specializations might add attributes to determine whether a CipherVersion is outdated and must be replaced by a new CipherVersion or other attributes helpful for housekeeping and management of CipherVersion instances. The CipherVersion instances are (indirectly) bound to a namespace.
