Crate block_cipher

This crate defines a set of simple traits used to define functionality of block ciphers.

About block ciphers

Block ciphers are keyed, deterministic permutations of a fixed-sized input “block” providing a reversible transformation to/from an encrypted output. They are one of the fundamental structural components of symmetric cryptography.
