JCE DES Stream Ciphers Testing Program

This section provides a tutorial example on how to use DES stream ciphers provided in the JDK JCE package.

To test out JCE DES stream cipher mode implementation, I wrote the following testing program:

This program provides 4 tests: CFB8, CFB64, OFB8 and OFB64 with testing plaintext messages, keys and initial vectors used in FIPS81.
