* This class represents a block cipher object.

-* It would be very useful to extend this interface to support the
-* encryption of multiple blocks at a time. This could help
-* performance, wrt cache effects in the software implementations, and
-* could be a big deal when supporting block ciphers implemented as
-* hardware devices. It could be used by implementations of ECB, and
-* more importantly counter mode (which most designs are moving to, due
-* to the parallelism possible in counter mode which is not the case
-* with feedback-based modes like CBC).
-*
-* Probable future API here:
-* virtual void encrypt_n(const byte in[], byte out[],
-* u32bit blocks) const = 0;
-* virtual void decrypt_n(const byte in[], byte out[],
-* u32bit blocks) const = 0;
