DefaultBlockCipherService.setModeName

Sets the cipher operation mode name to be used when constructing the {@link javax.crypto.Cipher Cipher} transformation string. A {@code null} value indicates that the JCA Provider default mode for the specified {@link #getAlgorithmName() algorithm} should be used. <p/> This attribute is used <em>only</em> when constructing the transformation string for block (byte array) operations ({@link #encrypt(byte[], byte[])} and {@link #decrypt(byte[], byte[])}). The {@link #getStreamingModeName() streamingModeName} attribute is used when the block cipher is used for streaming operations. <p/> The default value is {@code null} to retain the JCA Provider default. <p/> <b>NOTE:</b> most standard mode names are represented by the {@link OperationMode OperationMode} enum. That enum should be used with the {@link #setMode mode} attribute when possible to retain type-safety and reduce the possibility of errors. This method is better used if the {@link OperationMode} enum does not represent the necessary mode.

@param modeName the cipher operation mode name to be used when constructing {@link javax.crypto.Cipher Cipher} transformation string, or {@code null} if the JCA Provider default mode for the specified {@link #getAlgorithmName() algorithm} should be used. @see #setMode
