A CipherInputStream is composed of an InputStream and a Cipher so that read() methods return data that are read in from the underlying InputStream but have been additionally processed by the Cipher. The Cipher must be fully initialized before being used by a CipherInputStream.
For example, if the Cipher is initialized for decryption, the CipherInputStream will attempt to read in data and decrypt them, before returning the decrypted data.
This class adheres strictly to the semantics, especially the failure semantics, of its ancestor classes java.io.FilterInputStream and java.io.InputStream. This class has exactly those methods specified in its ancestor classes, and overrides them all. Moreover, this class catches all exceptions that are not thrown by its ancestor classes. In particular, the skip(long) method skips only data that have been processed by the Cipher.
It is crucial for a programmer using this class not to use methods that are not defined or overridden in this class (such as a new method or c onstructor that is later added to one of the super classes), because the design and implementation of those methods are unlikely to have considered security impact with regard to CipherInputStream.

public int read() throws IOException
public int read(byte[] b) throws IOException
The read method of InputStream calls the read method of three arguments with the arguments b, 0, and b.length.
public int read(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException, NullPointerException, IndexOutOfBoundsException
b
- the buffer into which the data is read.off
- the start offset of the data.len
- the maximum number of bytes read.public long skip(long n) throws IOException
n
- the number of bytes to be skipped.public int available() throws IOException
public void close() throws IOException
