Cipher Type.

These are the supported ciphers that can be used to encrypt and decrypt data. The key size is part of key generation and key loading.

CBC = Cipher Block Chaining

CFB = Cipher Feedback

CTR = Counter Mode, only available in AES

ECB = Electonic Codebook

OFB = Output Feedback

CIPHER_AES_XXX - Advanced Encryption Standard, supports 128, 192, 256 bit keys (e.g., CIPHER_AES_CTR for counter mode)

CIPHER_BF_XXX - Blowfish, variable key length up to 448 bits

CIPHER_CAST_XXX - CAST5, variable length keys between 40 and 128 bits, keys must be a multiple of 8 bits in length

CIPHER_DES_XXX - DES best used only to support legacy systems, has a fixed key size of 64 bits

CIPHER_DES3_XXX - Triple DES, has a fixed key size of 192 bits

CIPHER_DESX_CBC - DESX only comes in cbc mode, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DES-X

CIPHER_RC2_XXX - RSA's RC2, supports variable length keys up to 128 bits

CIPHER_RC4 - RSA's RC4 which is a stream cipher

CIPHER_RC5_XXX - RSA's RC5, supports variable length keys up to 2040 bits

CIPHER_EC - Public / Private cryptography based on Eliptic Curves

CIPHER_ECDSA - is a varient of the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) which uses Eliptic Curve Cryptography

CIPHER_ECDH - is a variant of the Diffie-Hellman protocol using Eliptic Curve Cryptography

CIPHER_ECMQV - is a varient of the Diffie-Hellman protocol using Eliptic Curve Cryptography with an arbitrary finite group

CIPHER_IDEA_XXX - IDEA, supports variable length keys up to 128 bits
