Method Detail

### createContentCipher

    public static java.lang.Object createContentCipher(boolean forEncryption,
                                                       CipherParameters encKey,
                                                       AlgorithmIdentifier encryptionAlgID)
                                                throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

  Create a content cipher for encrypting bulk data.

  Parameters:
    `forEncryption` - true if the cipher is for encryption, false otherwise.
    `encKey` - the basic key to use.
    `encryptionAlgID` - identifying algorithm OID and parameters to use.
  Returns:
    a StreamCipher or a BufferedBlockCipher depending on the algorithm.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`

### createOutputStream

    public static CipherOutputStream createOutputStream(java.io.OutputStream dOut,
                                                        java.lang.Object cipher)

  Return a new CipherOutputStream based on the passed in cipher.

  Parameters:
    `dOut` - the output stream to write the processed data to.
    `cipher` - the cipher to use.
  Returns:
    a BC CipherOutputStream using the cipher and writing to dOut.
