Class SICBlockCipher

All Implemented Interfaces:
BlockCipher, CTRModeCipher, MultiBlockCipher, SkippingCipher, SkippingStreamCipher, StreamCipher

public class SICBlockCipher extends StreamBlockCipher implements CTRModeCipher
Implements the Segmented Integer Counter (SIC) mode on top of a simple block cipher. This mode is also known as CTR mode.

With an IV shorter than the block size, the counter occupies the remaining low bytes and running past its range throws an IllegalStateException. With a full-block IV the whole block is the counter; the advance since init is bounded at 2^64 blocks (the widest range getPosition()/skip arithmetic can represent), past which the same exception is thrown.

    • processBlock

      public int processBlock(byte[] in, int inOff, byte[] out, int outOff) throws DataLengthException, IllegalStateException
      Description copied from interface: BlockCipher

      Returns:
      the number of bytes processed and produced.
      Throws:
      DataLengthException - if there isn't enough data in input , or space in out.
      IllegalStateException - if the cipher isn't initialised.

      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.
      Returns:
      the number of bytes produced - should always be len.
      Throws:
