- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### CFBBlockCipher

          public CFBBlockCipher(BlockCipher cipher,
                        int bitBlockSize)

      Basic constructor.
      Parameters:
        `cipher` - the block cipher to be used as the basis of the feedback mode.
        `bitBlockSize` - the block size in bits (note: a multiple of 8)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### init

          public void init(boolean encrypting,
                  CipherParameters params)
                    throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

      Initialise the cipher and, possibly, the initialisation vector (IV). If an IV isn't passed as part of the parameter, the IV will be all zeros. An IV which is too short is handled in FIPS compliant fashion.
      Parameters:
        `encrypting` - if true the cipher is initialised for encryption, if false for decryption.
        `params` - the key and other data required by the cipher.
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the params argument is inappropriate.

    - #### getAlgorithmName

          public java.lang.String getAlgorithmName()

      return the algorithm name and mode.
      Returns:
        the name of the underlying algorithm followed by "/CFB" and the block size in bits.

    - #### calculateByte

      Specified by:
        `calculateByte` in class `StreamBlockCipher`
      Throws:
        `DataLengthException`
        `java.lang.IllegalStateException`

    - #### getBlockSize

          public int getBlockSize()

      return the block size we are operating at.
