// This is a block cipher that just copies input to output, unmodified. // It's mostly for testing. However, using the null cipher in CBC mode, // for example via EncryptedOutputStream and EncryptedInputStream, turns // out to hash things up enough to protect against casual inspection. // There may be applications where this is appropriate. //
