## gnu.crypto.mode
Class CTR

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--gnu.crypto.mode.BaseMode
            |
            +--gnu.crypto.mode.CTR

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.lang.Cloneable, IBlockCipher, IMode

public class CTR
extends BaseMode
implements java.lang.Cloneable

The implementation of the Counter Mode.

The algorithm steps are formally described as follows:

        CTR Encryption: O[j] = E(K)(T[j]); for j = 1, 2...n;
                        C[j] = P[j] ^ O[j]; for j = 1, 2...n.
        CTR Decryption: O[j] = E(K)(T[j]); for j = 1, 2...n;
                        P[j] = C[j] ^ O[j]; for j = 1, 2...n.

where `P` is the plaintext, `C` is the ciphertext, `E(K)` is the underlying block cipher encryption function parametrised with the session key `K`, and `T` is the Counter.

This implementation, uses a standard incrementing function with a step of 1, and an initial value similar to that described in the NIST document.
