/**
 * A cipher mode that includes authenticated encryption with a streaming mode and optional associated data.
 * 
 * Implementations of this interface may operate in a packet mode (where all input data is buffered and 
 * processed during the call to {@link #doFinal(byte[], int)}), or in a streaming mode (where output data is
 * incrementally produced with each call to {@link #processByte(byte, byte[], int)} or 
 * {@link #processBytes(byte[], int, int, byte[], int)}.
 * 
 * This is important to consider during decryption: in a streaming mode, unauthenticated plaintext data
 * may be output prior to the call to {@link #doFinal(byte[], int)} that results in an authentication
 * failure. The higher level protocol utilising this cipher must ensure the plaintext data is handled 
 * appropriately until the end of data is reached and the entire ciphertext is authenticated.
