public enum ContentType extends Enum<ContentType>
This enum describes the supported types for storing the encrypted content in the message format. There are two types current currently supported: single block and frames.

The single block format stores the encrypted content in a single block wrapped with headers containing the nonce, MAC tag, and the content length.

The frame format partitions the encrypted content in multiple frames of a specified frame length. Each frame is wrapped by an header containing the frame sequence number, nonce, and the MAC tag.

Format: ContentType(byte value representing the type)

    • valueOf

      public static ContentType valueOf(String name)
      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
      NullPointerException - if the argument is null
    • getValue

      public byte getValue()
      Return the value used to encode this content type object in the ciphertext.
      Returns:
      the byte value used to encode this content type.
    • deserialize

      public static ContentType deserialize(byte value)
      Deserialize the provided byte value by returning the ContentType object representing the byte value.
      Parameters:
      value - the byte representing the value of the ContentType object.
      Returns:
      the ContentType object representing the byte value.
