Crate block_cipher

This crate defines a set of simple traits used to define functionality of block ciphers.

About block ciphers

Block ciphers are keyed, deterministic permutations of a fixed-sized input “block” providing a reversible transformation to/from an encrypted output. They are one of the fundamental structural components of symmetric cryptography.

Traits

BlockCipher	The trait which defines in-place encryption and decryption over single block or several blocks in parallel.
BlockCipherMut	Stateful block cipher which permits &mut self access.
NewBlockCipher	Instantiate a BlockCipher algorithm.

Type Definitions

Block	Block on which a BlockCipher operates.
Key	Key for an algorithm that implements NewBlockCipher.
ParBlocks	Blocks being acted over in parallel.
