## org.bouncycastle.crypto
Interface BlockCipher

All Known Implementing Classes:
  AESEngine, AESFastEngine, AESLightEngine, BlowfishEngine, CAST5Engine, CBCBlockCipher, CFBBlockCipher, DESEngine, IDEAEngine, NullEngine, OFBBlockCipher, OpenPGPCFBBlockCipher, PGPCFBBlockCipher, RC2Engine, RC532Engine, RC564Engine, RC6Engine, RijndaelEngine, SerpentEngine, SICBlockCipher, SkipjackEngine, TwofishEngine

public interface BlockCipher

Block cipher engines are expected to conform to this interface.

Method Summary
`java.lang.String` | `getAlgorithmName()` Return the name of the algorithm the cipher implements.
`int` | `getBlockSize()` Return the block size for this cipher (in bytes).
`void` | `init(boolean forEncryption, CipherParameters params)` Initialise the cipher.
`int` | `processBlock(byte[] in, int inOff, byte[] out, int outOff)` Process one block of input from the array in and write it to the out array.
`void` | `reset()` Reset the cipher.

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.
    `params` - the key and other data required by the cipher.
  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.

### getBlockSize

    public int getBlockSize()

  Return the block size for this cipher (in bytes).

  Returns:
    the block size for this cipher in bytes.

### processBlock

    public int processBlock(byte[] in,
                            int inOff,
                            byte[] out,
                            int outOff)
                     throws DataLengthException,
                            java.lang.IllegalStateException

  Process one block of input from the array in and write it to the out array.

  Parameters:
    `in` - the array containing the input data.
    `inOff` - offset into the in array the data starts at.
    `out` - the array the output data will be copied into.
    `outOff` - the offset into the out array the output will start at.
  Returns:
    the number of bytes processed and produced.
  Throws:
    `DataLengthException` - if there isn't enough data in in, or space in out.
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if the cipher isn't initialised.

### reset

    public void reset()

  Reset the cipher. After resetting the cipher is in the same state as it was after the last init (if there was one).
