Method Detail

createBlockEncryptor

SingleBlockEncryptor<T> createBlockEncryptor(AsymmetricKey key,
                                             T parameter)

Create a block encryptor for the passed in key and parameter set.

Parameters:

key - the key to be used in the encryptor.

parameter - the parameter set for the encryptor.

Returns:

an initialised block encryptor for the passed in arguments.

createBlockDecryptor

SingleBlockDecryptor<T> createBlockDecryptor(AsymmetricKey key,
                                             T parameter)

Create a block decryptor for the passed in key and parameter set.

Parameters:

key - the key to be used in the decryptor.

parameter - the parameter set for the decryptor.

Returns:

an initialised block decryptor for the passed in arguments.
