Current documentation is:
"The {@code NullCipher} class is a class that provides an "identity cipher" --
one that does not transform the plain text. As a consequence, the ciphertext
is identical to the plaintext. All initialization methods do nothing, while
the blocksize is set to 1 byte."
Would it be sufficient for me to add "Unlike other ciphers, the {@code
NullCipher} will not throw an {@code IllegalStateException} when in an
incorrect state."
