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., DES), 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("DES/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 "DES/CFB8/NoPadding" and "DES/OFB32/PKCS5Padding" transformations. If no such number is specified, a provider-specific default is used. (For example, the SunJCE provider uses a default of 64 bits for DES.) 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 AEAD 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).
```
     GCMParameterSpec s = new GCMParameterSpec(...);
     cipher.init(..., s);

     // If the GCMParameterSpec is needed again
     cipher.getParameters().getParameterSpec(GCMParameterSpec.class));

     cipher.updateAAD(...);  // AAD
     cipher.update(...);     // Multi-part update
     cipher.doFinal(...);    // conclusion of operation
 
```
Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the following standard Cipher transformations with the keysizes in parentheses:
- AES/CBC/NoPadding (128)
- AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding (128)
- AES/ECB/NoPadding (128)
- AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding (128)
- DES/CBC/NoPadding (56)
- DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding (56)
- DES/ECB/NoPadding (56)
- DES/ECB/PKCS5Padding (56)
- 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 Cryptography Architecture Standard Algorithm Name Documentation. Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any other transformations are supported.

  - init
```
public final void init(int opmode,
        Key key)
                throws InvalidKeyException
```
    Initializes this cipher with a key.
    The cipher 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 underlying 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 is equivalent to creating a new instance of that Cipher and initializing it.
    
    Parameters:
    opmode - the operation mode of this cipher (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).

    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 underlying 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 is equivalent to creating a new instance of that Cipher and initializing it.
    
    Parameters:
    opmode - the operation mode of this cipher (this is one of the following: ENCRYPT_MODE, DECRYPT_MODE, WRAP_MODE or UNWRAP_MODE)
    key - the encryption key
    params - the algorithm parameters
    random - the source of randomness
    
    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).
  - init
```
public final void init(int opmode,
        Certificate certificate)
                throws InvalidKeyException
```
    Initializes this cipher with the public key from the given certificate.
    The cipher is initialized for one of the following four operations: encryption, decryption, key wrapping or key unwrapping, depending on the value of opmode.
    If the certificate is of type X.509 and has a key usage extension field marked as critical, and the value of the key usage extension field implies that the public key in the certificate and its corresponding private key are not supposed to be used for the operation represented by the value of opmode, an InvalidKeyException is thrown.
    If this cipher requires any algorithm parameters that cannot be derived from the public key in the given certificate, 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 underlying 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 is equivalent to creating a new instance of that Cipher and initializing it.
    
    Parameters:
    opmode - the operation mode of this cipher (this is one of the following: ENCRYPT_MODE, DECRYPT_MODE, WRAP_MODE or UNWRAP_MODE)

```
public final byte[] update(byte[] input)
```
    Continues a multiple-part encryption or decryption operation (depending on how this cipher was initialized), processing another data part.
    The bytes in the input buffer are processed, and the result is stored in a new buffer.
    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 the underlying cipher is a block cipher and the input data is too short to result in a new block.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if this cipher is in a wrong state (e.g., has not been initialized)
  - update
```

  - getMaxAllowedKeyLength
```
public static final int getMaxAllowedKeyLength(String transformation)
                                        throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
```
    Returns the maximum key length for the specified transformation according to the installed JCE jurisdiction policy files. If JCE unlimited strength jurisdiction policy files are installed, Integer.MAX_VALUE will be returned. For more information on default key size in JCE jurisdiction policy files, please see Appendix E in the Java Cryptography Architecture Reference Guide.
    
    Parameters:
    transformation - the cipher transformation.
    
    Returns:
    the maximum key length in bits or Integer.MAX_VALUE.
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if transformation is null.
    
    NoSuchAlgorithmException - if transformation is not a valid transformation, i.e. in the form of "algorithm" or "algorithm/mode/padding".
    Since:
    
    1.5
  - getMaxAllowedParameterSpec
```
public static final AlgorithmParameterSpec getMaxAllowedParameterSpec(String transformation)
                                                               throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
```
    Returns an AlgorithmParameterSpec object which contains the maximum cipher parameter value according to the jurisdiction policy file. If JCE unlimited strength jurisdiction policy files are installed or there is no maximum limit on the parameters for the specified transformation in the policy file, null will be returned.
    
    Parameters:
    transformation - the cipher transformation.
    
    Returns:
    an AlgorithmParameterSpec which holds the maximum value or null.
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if transformation is null.
    
    NoSuchAlgorithmException - if transformation is not a valid transformation, i.e. in the form of "algorithm" or "algorithm/mode/padding".

  - updateAAD
```
public final void updateAAD(byte[] src)
```
    Continues a multi-part update of the Additional Authentication Data (AAD).
    Calls to this method provide AAD to the cipher when operating in modes such as AEAD (GCM/CCM). If this cipher is operating in either GCM or CCM mode, all AAD must be supplied before beginning operations on the ciphertext (via the update and doFinal methods).
    
    Parameters:
    src - the buffer containing the Additional Authentication Data
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the src byte array is null
    
    IllegalStateException - if this cipher is in a wrong state (e.g., has not been initialized), does not accept AAD, or if operating in either GCM or CCM mode and one of the update methods has already been called for the active encryption/decryption operation
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - if the corresponding method in the CipherSpi has not been overridden by an implementation
    Since:
    
    1.7
  - updateAAD
```
public final void updateAAD(byte[] src,
             int offset,
             int len)
```
    Continues a multi-part update of the Additional Authentication Data (AAD), using a subset of the provided buffer.
    Calls to this method provide AAD to the cipher when operating in modes such as AEAD (GCM/CCM). If this cipher is operating in either GCM or CCM mode, all AAD must be supplied before beginning operations on the ciphertext (via the update and doFinal methods).
    
    Parameters:
    src - the buffer containing the AAD
    offset - the offset in src where the AAD input starts
    len - the number of AAD bytes
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the src byte array is null, or the offset or length is less than 0, or the sum of the offset and len is greater than the length of the src byte array
    
    IllegalStateException - if this cipher is in a wrong state (e.g., has not been initialized), does not accept AAD, or if operating in either GCM or CCM mode and one of the update methods has already been called for the active encryption/decryption operation
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - if the corresponding method in the CipherSpi has not been overridden by an implementation
    Since:
    
    1.7
  - updateAAD
```
public final void updateAAD(ByteBuffer src)
```
    Continues a multi-part update of the Additional Authentication Data (AAD).
    Calls to this method provide AAD to the cipher when operating in modes such as AEAD (GCM/CCM). If this cipher is operating in either GCM or CCM mode, all AAD must be supplied before beginning operations on the ciphertext (via the update and doFinal methods).
    All src.remaining() bytes starting at src.position() are processed. Upon return, the input buffer's position will be equal to its limit; its limit will not have changed.
    
    Parameters:
    src - the buffer containing the AAD
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the src ByteBuffer is null
    
    IllegalStateException - if this cipher is in a wrong state (e.g., has not been initialized), does not accept AAD, or if operating in either GCM or CCM mode and one of the update methods has already been called for the active encryption/decryption operation
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - if the corresponding method in the CipherSpi has not been overridden by an implementation
    Since:
