+/**
+ * <p>The basic visible methods of any block cipher mode.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Block ciphers encrypt plaintext in fixed size n-bit blocks. For messages
+ * larger than n bits, the simplest approach is to segment the message into
+ * n-bit blocks and process (encrypt and/or decrypt) each one separately
+ * (Electronic Codebook or ECB mode). But this approach has disadvantages in
+ * most applications. The block cipher modes of operations are one way of
+ * working around those disadvantages.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>A <i>Mode</i> always employs an underlying block cipher for processing its
+ * input. For all intents and purposes, a <i>Mode</i> appears to behave as any
+ * other block cipher with the following differences:</p>
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>Depending on the specifications of the mode, the block size may be
+ * different that that of the underlying cipher.</li>
+ *
+ * <li>While some modes of operations allow operations on block sizes that
+ * can be 1-bit long, this library will only deal with sizes that are
+ * multiple of 8 bits. This is because the <tt>byte</tt> is the smallest,
+ * easy to handle, primitive type in Java.</li>
+ *
+ * <li>Some modes need an <i>Initialisation Vector</i> (IV) to be properly
+ * initialised.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Possible additional initialisation values for an instance of that type
+ * are:</p>
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>The block size in which to operate this mode instance. This
+ * value is <b>optional</b>, if unspecified, the underlying block cipher's
+ * configured block size shall be used.</li>
+ *
+ * <li>Whether this mode will be used for encryption or decryption. This
+ * value is <b>mandatory</b> and should be included in the initialisation
+ * parameters. If it isn't, a {@link java.lang.IllegalStateException} will
+ * be thrown if any method, other than <code>reset()</code> is invoked on the
+ * instance.</li>
+ *
+ * <li>The byte array containing the <i>initialisation vector</i>, if
+ * required by this type of mode.</li>
+ * </ul>
