Interface Redundancy

All Known Implementing Classes:

SimpleRedundancy, WeakRedundancy

public interface Redundancy

An interface that defines the basic behaviour of an object that can be used to add redundancy to a bit integer value.

Method Summary

boolean	ok(java.math.BigInteger x) A method to test if the value x was produced by protect().
java.math.BigInteger	protect(java.math.BigInteger x) A method to add redundancy to a big integer x.
java.math.BigInteger	recover(java.math.BigInteger x) A method to recover a big integer value from a redundant value x produced by protect().

Method Detail

protect

public java.math.BigInteger protect(java.math.BigInteger x)
                             throws java.lang.Exception

A method to add redundancy to a big integer x.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

recover

public java.math.BigInteger recover(java.math.BigInteger x)
                             throws java.lang.Exception

A method to recover a big integer value from a redundant value x produced by protect().

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if the value x was not created by protect().

ok

public boolean ok(java.math.BigInteger x)
           throws java.lang.Exception

A method to test if the value x was produced by protect().

Throws:

java.lang.Exception
