NullCipher

public class NullCipher extends Cipher

The NullCipher class is a class that provides an "identity cipher" -- one that does not transform the plain text. As a consequence, the ciphertext is identical to the plaintext. All initialization methods do nothing, while the blocksize is set to 1 byte.
