public class Cipher extends Object
This class provides the functionality of a cryptographic cipher for encryption and decryption. It forms the core of the Java Cryptographic Extension (JCE) framework.

In order to create a `Cipher` object, the application calls the cipher's `getInstance` method, and passes the name of the requested transformation to it. Optionally, the name of a provider may be specified.

A transformation is a string that describes the operation (or set of operations) to be performed on the given input, to produce some output. A transformation always includes the name of a cryptographic algorithm (e.g., AES), and may be followed by a feedback mode and padding scheme.

A transformation is of the form:

- "algorithm/mode/padding" or
- "algorithm"

(in the latter case, provider-specific default values for the mode and padding scheme are used). For example, the following is a valid transformation:

         Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");

Using modes such as `CFB` and `OFB`, block ciphers can encrypt data in units smaller than the cipher's actual block size. When requesting such a mode, you may optionally specify the number of bits to be processed at a time by appending this number to the mode name as shown in the "`AES/CFB8/NoPadding`" and "`AES/OFB32/PKCS5Padding`" transformations. If no such number is specified, a provider-specific default is used. (See the JDK Providers Documentation for the JDK Providers default values.) Thus, block ciphers can be turned into byte-oriented stream ciphers by using an 8 bit mode such as CFB8 or OFB8.

Modes such as Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) provide authenticity assurances for both confidential data and Additional Associated Data (AAD) that is not encrypted. (Please see RFC 5116 for more information on AEAD and AAD algorithms such as GCM/CCM.) Both confidential and AAD data can be used when calculating the authentication tag (similar to a `Mac`). This tag is appended to the ciphertext during encryption, and is verified on decryption.

AEAD modes such as GCM/CCM perform all AAD authenticity calculations before starting the ciphertext authenticity calculations. To avoid implementations having to internally buffer ciphertext, all AAD data must be supplied to GCM/CCM implementations (via the `updateAAD` methods) before the ciphertext is processed (via the `update` and `doFinal` methods).

Note that GCM mode has a uniqueness requirement on IVs used in encryption with a given key. When IVs are repeated for GCM encryption, such usages are subject to forgery attacks. Thus, after each encryption operation using GCM mode, callers should re-initialize the `Cipher` objects with GCM parameters which have a different IV value.

         GCMParameterSpec s = ...;
         cipher.init(..., s);

         // If the GCM parameters were generated by the provider, it can
         // be retrieved by:
         // cipher.getParameters().getParameterSpec(GCMParameterSpec.class);

         cipher.updateAAD(...);  // AAD
         cipher.update(...);     // Multi-part update
         cipher.doFinal(...);    // conclusion of operation

         // Use a different IV value for every encryption
         byte[] newIv = ...;
         s = new GCMParameterSpec(s.getTLen(), newIv);
         cipher.init(..., s);
         ...

The ChaCha20 and ChaCha20-Poly1305 algorithms have a similar requirement for unique nonces with a given key. After each encryption or decryption operation, callers should re-initialize their ChaCha20 or ChaCha20-Poly1305 ciphers with parameters that specify a different nonce value. Please see RFC 7539 for more information on the ChaCha20 and ChaCha20-Poly1305 algorithms.

Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the following standard `Cipher` object transformations with the keysizes in parentheses:

- `AES/CBC/NoPadding` (128)
- `AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding` (128)
- `AES/ECB/NoPadding` (128)
- `AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding` (128)
- `AES/GCM/NoPadding` (128)
- `DESede/CBC/NoPadding` (168)
- `DESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding` (168)
- `DESede/ECB/NoPadding` (168)
- `DESede/ECB/PKCS5Padding` (168)
- `RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding` (1024, 2048)
- `RSA/ECB/OAEPWithSHA-1AndMGF1Padding` (1024, 2048)
- `RSA/ECB/OAEPWithSHA-256AndMGF1Padding` (1024, 2048)

These transformations are described in the Cipher section of the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification. Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any other transformations are supported.

- ## Method Details

  - ### getInstance

    public static final Cipher getInstance(String transformation) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchPaddingException
    Returns a `Cipher` object that implements the specified transformation.

    This method traverses the list of registered security providers, starting with the most preferred provider. A new `Cipher` object encapsulating the `CipherSpi` implementation from the first provider that supports the specified algorithm is returned.

    Note that the list of registered providers may be retrieved via the `Security.getProviders()` method.

    Implementation Note:
      The JDK Reference Implementation additionally uses the `jdk.security.provider.preferred` `Security` property to determine the preferred provider order for the specified algorithm. This may be different than the order of providers returned by `Security.getProviders()`. See also the Cipher Transformations section of the JDK Providers document for information on the transformation defaults used by JDK providers.
    Parameters:
      `transformation` - the name of the transformation, e.g., AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding. See the Cipher section in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard transformation names.
    Returns:
      a `Cipher` object that implements the requested transformation
    Throws:
      `NoSuchAlgorithmException` - if `transformation` is `null`, empty, in an invalid format, or if no provider supports a `CipherSpi` implementation for the specified algorithm

  - ### init

    public final void init(int opmode, Key key) throws InvalidKeyException
    Initializes this `Cipher` object with a key.

    The `Cipher` object is initialized for one of the following four operations: encryption, decryption, key wrapping or key unwrapping, depending on the value of `opmode`.

    If this cipher requires any algorithm parameters that cannot be derived from the given `key`, the underlying cipher implementation is supposed to generate the required parameters itself (using provider-specific default or random values) if it is being initialized for encryption or key wrapping, and raise an `InvalidKeyException` if it is being initialized for decryption or key unwrapping. The generated parameters can be retrieved using `getParameters` or `getIV` (if the parameter is an IV).

    If this cipher requires algorithm parameters that cannot be derived from the input parameters, and there are no reasonable provider-specific default values, initialization will necessarily fail.

    If this cipher (including its feedback or padding scheme) requires any random bytes (e.g., for parameter generation), it will get them using the `SecureRandom` implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness. (If none of the installed providers supply an implementation of SecureRandom, a system-provided source of randomness will be used.)

    Note that when a `Cipher` object is initialized, it loses all previously-acquired state. In other words, initializing a `Cipher` object is equivalent to creating a new instance of that `Cipher` object and initializing it.

    Parameters:
      `opmode` - the operation mode of this `Cipher` object (this is one of the following: `ENCRYPT_MODE`, `DECRYPT_MODE`, `WRAP_MODE` or `UNWRAP_MODE`)
      `key` - the key
    Throws:
      `InvalidKeyException` - if the given key is inappropriate for initializing this cipher, or requires algorithm parameters that cannot be determined from the given key, or if the given key has a keysize that exceeds the maximum allowable keysize (as determined from the configured jurisdiction policy files)
      `UnsupportedOperationException` - if `opmode` is `WRAP_MODE` or `UNWRAP_MODE` but the mode is not implemented by the underlying `CipherSpi`
      `InvalidParameterException` - if `opmode` is not one of the recognized values

  - ### init

    public final void init(int opmode, Key key, SecureRandom random) throws InvalidKeyException
    Initializes this `Cipher` object with a key and a source of randomness.

    The `Cipher` object is initialized for one of the following four operations: encryption, decryption, key wrapping or key unwrapping, depending on the value of `opmode`.

    If this cipher requires any algorithm parameters that cannot be derived from the given `key`, the underlying cipher implementation is supposed to generate the required parameters itself (using provider-specific default or random values) if it is being initialized for encryption or key wrapping, and raise an `InvalidKeyException` if it is being initialized for decryption or key unwrapping. The generated parameters can be retrieved using `getParameters` or `getIV` (if the parameter is an IV).

    If this cipher requires algorithm parameters that cannot be derived from the input parameters, and there are no reasonable provider-specific default values, initialization will necessarily fail.

    If this cipher (including its feedback or padding scheme) requires any random bytes (e.g., for parameter generation), it will get them from `random`.

    Note that when a `Cipher` object is initialized, it loses all previously-acquired state. In other words, initializing a `Cipher` object is equivalent to creating a new instance of that `Cipher` object and initializing it.

      `UnsupportedOperationException` - if `opmode` is `WRAP_MODE` or `UNWRAP_MODE` but the mode is not implemented by the underlying `CipherSpi`
      `InvalidParameterException` - if `opmode` is not one of the recognized values

  - ### init

    public final void init(int opmode, Key key, AlgorithmParameterSpec params) throws InvalidKeyException, InvalidAlgorithmParameterException

    The `Cipher` object is initialized for one of the following four operations: encryption, decryption, key wrapping or key unwrapping, depending on the value of `opmode`.

    If this cipher requires any algorithm parameters and `params` is `null`, the underlying cipher implementation is supposed to generate the required parameters itself (using provider-specific default or random values) if it is being initialized for encryption or key wrapping, and raise an `InvalidAlgorithmParameterException` if it is being initialized for decryption or key unwrapping. The generated parameters can be retrieved using `getParameters` or `getIV` (if the parameter is an IV).

    If this cipher requires algorithm parameters that cannot be derived from the input parameters, and there are no reasonable provider-specific default values, initialization will necessarily fail.

      `params` - the algorithm parameters
    Throws:

      `UnsupportedOperationException` - if `opmode` is `WRAP_MODE` or `UNWRAP_MODE` but the mode is not implemented by the underlying `CipherSpi`
      `InvalidParameterException` - if `opmode` is not one of the recognized values

      `InvalidKeyException` - if the given key is inappropriate for initializing this cipher, or its keysize exceeds the maximum allowable keysize (as determined from the configured jurisdiction policy files)
      `InvalidAlgorithmParameterException` - if the given algorithm parameters are inappropriate for this cipher, or this cipher requires algorithm parameters and `params` is `null`, or the given algorithm parameters imply a cryptographic strength that would exceed the legal limits (as determined from the configured jurisdiction policy files)
      `UnsupportedOperationException` - if `opmode` is `WRAP_MODE` or `UNWRAP_MODE` but the mode is not implemented by the underlying `CipherSpi`
      `InvalidParameterException` - if `opmode` is not one of the recognized values

  - ### init

    public final void init(int opmode, Key key, AlgorithmParameters params) throws InvalidKeyException, InvalidAlgorithmParameterException
    Initializes this `Cipher` object with a key and a set of algorithm parameters.

    The `Cipher` object is initialized for one of the following four operations: encryption, decryption, key wrapping or key unwrapping, depending on the value of `opmode`.

    If this cipher requires any algorithm parameters and `params` is `null`, the underlying cipher implementation is supposed to generate the required parameters itself (using provider-specific default or random values) if it is being initialized for encryption or key wrapping, and raise an `InvalidAlgorithmParameterException` if it is being initialized for decryption or key unwrapping. The generated parameters can be retrieved using `getParameters` or `getIV` (if the parameter is an IV).

    If this cipher requires algorithm parameters that cannot be derived from the input parameters, and there are no reasonable provider-specific default values, initialization will necessarily fail.

    If this cipher (including its feedback or padding scheme) requires any random bytes (e.g., for parameter generation), it will get them using the `SecureRandom` implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness. (If none of the installed providers supply an implementation of SecureRandom, a system-provided source of randomness will be used.)

    Note that when a `Cipher` object is initialized, it loses all previously-acquired state. In other words, initializing a `Cipher` object is equivalent to creating a new instance of that `Cipher` object and initializing it.

    Parameters:
      `opmode` - the operation mode of this `Cipher` object this is one of the following: `ENCRYPT_MODE`, `DECRYPT_MODE`, `WRAP_MODE` or `UNWRAP_MODE`)
      `key` - the encryption key
      `params` - the algorithm parameters
    Throws:
      `InvalidKeyException` - if the given key is inappropriate for initializing this cipher, or its keysize exceeds the maximum allowable keysize (as determined from the configured jurisdiction policy files).
      `InvalidAlgorithmParameterException` - if the given algorithm parameters are inappropriate for this cipher, or this cipher requires algorithm parameters and `params` is `null`, or the given algorithm parameters imply a cryptographic strength that would exceed the legal limits (as determined from the configured jurisdiction policy files)
      `UnsupportedOperationException` - if `opmode` is `WRAP_MODE` or `UNWRAP_MODE` but the mode is not implemented by the underlying `CipherSpi`
      `InvalidParameterException` - if `opmode` is not one of the recognized values

    The `Cipher` object is initialized for one of the following four operations: encryption, decryption, key wrapping or key unwrapping, depending on the value of `opmode`.

    If this cipher requires any algorithm parameters and `params` is `null`, the underlying cipher implementation is supposed to generate the required parameters itself (using provider-specific default or random values) if it is being initialized for encryption or key wrapping, and raise an `InvalidAlgorithmParameterException` if it is being initialized for decryption or key unwrapping.

    Initializes this `Cipher` object with the public key from the given certificate.

    If `input` has a length of zero, this method returns `null`.

    Parameters:
      `input` - the input buffer
    Returns:
      the new buffer with the result, or `null` if this cipher is a block cipher and the input data is too short to result in a new block

The output buffer's position will have advanced by n, where n is the value returned by this method; the output buffer's limit will not have changed.

    If `output.remaining()` bytes are insufficient to hold the result, a `ShortBufferException` is thrown. In this case, repeat this call with a larger output buffer. Use `getOutputSize` to determine how big the output buffer should be.

    Note: this method should be copy-safe, which means the `input` and `output` buffers can reference the same block of memory and no unprocessed input data is overwritten when the result is copied into the output buffer.

    Parameters:
      `input` - the input ByteBuffer
      `output` - the output ByteByffer

Upon return, the input buffer's position will be equal to its limit; its limit will not have changed. The output buffer's position will have advanced by n, where n is the value returned by this method; the output buffer's limit will not have changed.

    If `output.remaining()` bytes are insufficient to hold the result, a `ShortBufferException` is thrown. In this case, repeat this call with a larger output buffer. Use `getOutputSize` to determine how big the output buffer should be.

    Upon finishing, this method resets this `Cipher` object to the state it was in when previously initialized via a call to `init`. That is, the object is reset and available to encrypt or decrypt (depending on the operation mode that was specified in the call to `init`) more data.

    Note: if any exception is thrown, this `Cipher` object may need to be reset before it can be used again.

    Note: this method should be copy-safe, which means the `input` and `output` buffers can reference the same byte array and no unprocessed input data is overwritten when the result is copied into the output buffer.

    Parameters:
      `input` - the input ByteBuffer
      `output` - the output ByteBuffer
    Returns:
      the number of bytes stored in `output`
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - if this `Cipher` object is in a wrong state (e.g., has not been initialized)
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if input and output are the same object
      `ReadOnlyBufferException` - if the output buffer is read-only
      `IllegalBlockSizeException` - if this cipher is a block cipher, no padding has been requested (only in encryption mode), and the total input length of the data processed by this cipher is not a multiple of block size; or if this encryption algorithm is unable to process the input data provided.
      `ShortBufferException` - if there is insufficient space in the output buffer
      `BadPaddingException` - if this `Cipher` object is in decryption mode, and (un)padding has been requested, but the decrypted data is not bounded by the appropriate padding bytes
      `AEADBadTagException` - if this `Cipher` object is decrypting in an AEAD mode (such as GCM/CCM), and the received authentication tag does not match the calculated value
