/// \brief Classes for implementing stream ciphers
/// \details This file contains helper classes for implementing stream ciphers.
///  All this infrastructure may look very complex compared to what's in Crypto++ 4.x,
///  but stream ciphers implementations now support a lot of new functionality,
///  including better performance (minimizing copying), resetting of keys and IVs, and
///  methods to query which features are supported by a cipher.
/// \details Here's an explanation of these classes. The word "policy" is used here to
///  mean a class with a set of methods that must be implemented by individual stream
///  cipher implementations. This is usually much simpler than the full stream cipher
///  API, which is implemented by either AdditiveCipherTemplate or CFB_CipherTemplate
///  using the policy. So for example, an implementation of SEAL only needs to implement
///  the AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy interface (since it's an additive cipher, i.e., it
///  xors a keystream into the plaintext). See this line in seal.h:
/// <pre>
///     typedef SymmetricCipherFinal<ConcretePolicyHolder<SEAL_Policy<B>, AdditiveCipherTemplate<> > > Encryption;
/// </pre>
/// \details AdditiveCipherTemplate and CFB_CipherTemplate are designed so that they don't
///  need to take a policy class as a template parameter (although this is allowed), so
///  that their code is not duplicated for each new cipher. Instead they each get a
///  reference to an abstract policy interface by calling AccessPolicy() on itself, so
///  AccessPolicy() must be overridden to return the actual policy reference. This is done
///  by the ConcretePolicyHolder class. Finally, SymmetricCipherFinal implements the
///  constructors and other functions that must be implemented by the most derived class.
