KeyedFilter getCipher(string algo_spec, SymmetricKey key, CipherDir direction)
KeyedFilter getCipher(string algo_spec, CipherDir direction)

Parameters

algo_spec string: the name of the desired cipher
key SymmetricKey: the key to be used for encryption/decryption performed by the filter
iv InitializationVector: the initialization vector to be used
direction CipherDir: determines whether the filter will be an encrypting or decrypting filter

Return Value
