Interface StreamCipher

All Known Implementing Classes:
  RC4Engine, StreamBlockCipher

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

    public 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.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the params argument is inappropriate.

### getAlgorithmName

    public java.lang.String getAlgorithmName()

  Return the name of the algorithm the cipher implements.

  Returns:
    the name of the algorithm the cipher implements.

### returnByte

    public 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

    public 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 stars at.
  Throws:
    `DataLengthException` - if the output buffer is too small.

### reset

    public void reset()

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