virtual unsigned int StreamTransformation::OptimalBlockSize (  )  const [inline, virtual]

returns the input block size that is most efficient for this cipher

Note:
optimal input length is n * OptimalBlockSize() - GetOptimalBlockSizeUsed() for any n > 0

Reimplemented in ECB_OneWay.

Definition at line 481 of file cryptlib.h.

virtual void StreamTransformation::ProcessData ( byte *  outString,
const byte *  inString,
size_t  length 
) [pure virtual]

encrypt or decrypt an array of bytes of specified length

Note:
either inString == outString, or they don't overlap

Implemented in AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase, PublicBlumBlumShub, ECB_OneWay, CBC_Encryption, and CBC_Decryption.

Referenced by AuthenticatedSymmetricCipherBase::ProcessData(), and ProcessLastBlock().

void StreamTransformation::ProcessLastBlock ( byte *  outString,
const byte *  inString,
size_t  length 
) [virtual]

for ciphers where the last block of data is special, encrypt or decrypt the last block of data

For now the only use of this function is for CBC-CTS mode.

Reimplemented in CBC_CTS_Encryption, and CBC_CTS_Decryption.

Definition at line 194 of file cryptlib.cpp.
