// A Block represents an implementation of block cipher
// using a given key. It provides the capability to encrypt
// or decrypt individual blocks. The mode implementations
// extend that capability to streams of blocks.
type Block interface {
	// BlockSize returns the cipher's block size.
	BlockSize() int

	// Encrypt encrypts the first block in src into dst.
	// Dst and src must overlap entirely or not at all.
	Encrypt(dst, src []byte)

	// Decrypt decrypts the first block in src into dst.
	// Dst and src must overlap entirely or not at all.
	Decrypt(dst, src []byte)
}

// A Stream represents a stream cipher.
type Stream interface {
	// XORKeyStream XORs each byte in the given slice with a byte from the
	// cipher's key stream. Dst and src must overlap entirely or not at all.
	//
	// If len(dst) < len(src), XORKeyStream should panic. It is acceptable
	// to pass a dst bigger than src, and in that case, XORKeyStream will
	// only update dst[:len(src)] and will not touch the rest of dst.
	//
	// Multiple calls to XORKeyStream behave as if the concatenation of
	// the src buffers was passed in a single run. That is, Stream
	// maintains state and does not reset at each XORKeyStream call.
	XORKeyStream(dst, src []byte)
}

// A BlockMode represents a block cipher running in a block-based mode (CBC,
// ECB etc).
type BlockMode interface {
	// BlockSize returns the mode's block size.
	BlockSize() int

	// CryptBlocks encrypts or decrypts a number of blocks. The length of
	// src must be a multiple of the block size. Dst and src must overlap
	// entirely or not at all.
