  /// decryption operation is done on a byte basis. A serial cipher is
  /// similar to a block cipher but does not generally provides a padding
  /// scheme since there is no concept of block. However, to ease the
  /// processing, a serial block size is associated with the class which
  /// can be used to control the stream or the buffer processing on a block
  /// basis as long as the serial block size is not null.
