## Detailed Description

Provides range for plaintext and ciphertext lengths.

A trapdoor function is a function that is easy to compute in one direction, but difficult to compute in the opposite direction without special knowledge. The special knowledge is usually the private key.

Trapdoor functions only handle messages of a limited length or size. MaxPreimage is the plaintext's maximum length, and MaxImage is the ciphertext's maximum length.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ PreimageBound()

virtual Integer TrapdoorFunctionBounds::PreimageBound | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns the maximum size of a message before the trapdoor function is applied.

Returns
  the maximum size of a message before the trapdoor function is applied

Derived classes must implement PreimageBound().

Implemented in InvertibleRSAFunction_ISO, RSAFunction_ISO, LUCFunction, RSAFunction, ESIGNFunction, RWFunction, and RabinFunction.

## ◆ ImageBound()

virtual Integer TrapdoorFunctionBounds::ImageBound | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns the maximum size of a message after the trapdoor function is applied.

Returns
  the maximum size of a message after the trapdoor function is applied

Derived classes must implement ImageBound().

Implemented in LUCFunction, RSAFunction, ESIGNFunction, RWFunction, and RabinFunction.

## ◆ MaxPreimage()

virtual Integer TrapdoorFunctionBounds::MaxPreimage | ( |  | ) | const
| inline virtual

Returns the maximum size of a message before the trapdoor function is applied bound to a public key.

Returns
  the maximum size of a message before the trapdoor function is applied bound to a public key

The default implementation returns `PreimageBound() - 1`.

Definition at line 88 of file pubkey.h.

## ◆ MaxImage()

virtual Integer TrapdoorFunctionBounds::MaxImage | ( |  | ) | const
| inline virtual

Returns the maximum size of a message after the trapdoor function is applied bound to a public key.

Returns
  the maximum size of a message after the trapdoor function is applied bound to a public key

The default implementation returns `ImageBound() - 1`.
