## Interface AEADCipher

- All Known Subinterfaces:
    `AEADBlockCipher`
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    `CCMBlockCipher`, `ChaCha20Poly1305`, `EAXBlockCipher`, `GCMBlockCipher`, `KCCMBlockCipher`, `KGCMBlockCipher`, `OCBBlockCipher`

      public interface AEADCipher

  A cipher mode that includes authenticated encryption with a streaming mode and optional associated data.

  Implementations of this interface may operate in a packet mode (where all input data is buffered and processed during the call to `doFinal(byte[], int)`), or in a streaming mode (where output data is incrementally produced with each call to `processByte(byte, byte[], int)` or `processBytes(byte[], int, int, byte[], int)`.

  This is important to consider during decryption: in a streaming mode, unauthenticated plaintext data may be output prior to the call to `doFinal(byte[], int)` that results in an authentication failure. The higher level protocol utilising this cipher must ensure the plaintext data is handled appropriately until the end of data is reached and the entire ciphertext is authenticated.

    - #### processAADByte

          void processAADByte​(byte in)

                               int len)

      Add a sequence of bytes to the associated data check.
      If the implementation supports it, this will be an online operation and will not retain the associated data.
      Parameters:
        `in` - the input byte array.
        `inOff` - the offset into the in array where the data to be processed starts.
        `len` - the number of bytes to be processed.

    - #### processByte

          int processByte​(byte in,
                          byte[] out,

                   throws DataLengthException

      encrypt/decrypt a single byte.
      Parameters:
        `in` - the byte to be processed.
        `out` - the output buffer the processed byte goes into.
        `outOff` - the offset into the output byte array the processed data starts at.
      Returns:
        the number of bytes written to out.
      Throws:
        `DataLengthException` - if the output buffer is too small.

    - #### processBytes

          int processBytes​(byte[] in,

          int getUpdateOutputSize​(int len)

      return the size of the output buffer required for a processBytes an input of len bytes.

      The returned size may be dependent on the initialisation of this cipher and may not be accurate once subsequent input data is processed - this method should be invoked immediately prior to input data being processed.

      Parameters:
        `len` - the length of the input.
      Returns:
        the space required to accommodate a call to processBytes with len bytes of input.

          int getOutputSize​(int len)

      return the size of the output buffer required for a processBytes plus a doFinal with an input of len bytes.

      The returned size may be dependent on the initialisation of this cipher and may not be accurate once subsequent input data is processed - this method should be invoked immediately prior to a call to final processing of input data and a call to `doFinal(byte[], int)`.

      Parameters:
        `len` - the length of the input.
      Returns:
        the space required to accommodate a call to processBytes and doFinal with len bytes of input.

    - #### reset

          void reset()

      Reset the cipher. After resetting the cipher is in the same state as it was after the last init (if there was one).
