/**
* 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;
