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.
