`void`	`reset()`	Reset the cipher.

- Method Detail
  - init
```
void init(boolean forEncryption,
          CipherParameters params)
   throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
```
    Initialise the cipher.
    
    Parameters:
    
    forEncryption - 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
```
java.lang.String getAlgorithmName()
```
    Return the name of the algorithm the cipher implements.
    
    Returns:
    
    the name of the algorithm the cipher implements.
  - getBlockSize
```
int getBlockSize()
```
    Return the block size for this cipher (in bytes).
    
    Returns:
    
    the block size for this cipher in bytes.
  - processBlock
```
int processBlock(byte[] in,
                 int inOff,
                 byte[] out,
                 int outOff)
          throws DataLengthException,
                 java.lang.IllegalStateException
```
    Process one block of input from the array in and write it to the out array.
    
    Parameters:
    
    in - the array containing the input data.
    
    inOff - offset into the in array the data starts at.
    
    out - the array the output data will be copied into.
    
    outOff - the offset into the out array the output will start at.
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of bytes processed and produced.
    
    Throws:
    
    DataLengthException - if there isn't enough data in in, or space in out.
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the cipher isn't initialised.
  - reset
```
void reset()
```
    Reset the cipher. After resetting the cipher is in the same state as it was after the last init (if there was one).
