Interface StreamCipher

All Known Implementing Classes:
  Grain128Engine, Grainv1Engine, HC128Engine, HC256Engine, ISAACEngine, RC4Engine, Salsa20Engine, StreamBlockCipher, VMPCEngine, VMPCKSA3Engine

    public interface StreamCipher

the interface stream ciphers conform to.

Method Summary
`java.lang.String` `getAlgorithmName()` Return the name of the algorithm the cipher implements.
`void` `init(boolean forEncryption, CipherParameters params)` Initialise the cipher.
`void` `processBytes(byte[] in, int inOff, int len, byte[] out, int outOff)` process a block of bytes from in putting the result into out.
`void` `reset()` reset the cipher.
`byte` `returnByte(byte in)` encrypt/decrypt a single byte returning the result.

Method Detail

### init

    void init(boolean forEncryption,
              CipherParameters params)
              throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

  Initialise the cipher.

  Parameters:
    `forEncryption` - if true the cipher is initialised for encryption, if false for decryption.
    `params` - the key and other data required by the cipher.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the params argument is inappropriate.

### getAlgorithmName

    java.lang.String getAlgorithmName()

  Return the name of the algorithm the cipher implements.

  Returns:
    the name of the algorithm the cipher implements.

### returnByte

    byte returnByte(byte in)

  encrypt/decrypt a single byte returning the result.

  Parameters:
    `in` - the byte to be processed.
  Returns:
    the result of processing the input byte.

### processBytes

    void processBytes(byte[] in,
                      int inOff,
                      int len,
                      byte[] out,
                      int outOff)
                      throws DataLengthException

  process a block of bytes from in putting the result into out.

  Parameters:
    `in` - the input byte array.
    `inOff` - the offset into the in array where the data to be processed starts.
    `len` - the number of bytes to be processed.
    `out` - the output buffer the processed bytes go into.
    `outOff` - the offset into the output byte array the processed data starts at.
  Throws:
    `DataLengthException` - if the output buffer is too small.

### reset

    void reset()

  reset the cipher. This leaves it in the same state it was at after the last init (if there was one).
