// INDCPACipher provides an interface for symmetric key ciphers that are
// indistinguishable against chosen-plaintext attacks. Said primitives do not
// provide authentication, thus should not be used directly, but only to
// construct safer primitives such as AEAD.
type INDCPACipher interface {
	// Encrypt encrypts plaintext. The resulting ciphertext is indistinguishable under
	// chosen-plaintext attack. However, it does not have integrity protection.
	Encrypt(plaintext []byte) ([]byte, error)

	// Decrypt decrypts ciphertext and returns the resulting plaintext.
	Decrypt(ciphertext []byte) ([]byte, error)
