java中cipher什么意思,cipher.update在Java中做什么？

I am implementing DES - CBC. I am confused as to what cipher.init, cipher.update and cipher.dofinal do. I just use init to set the key and dofinal to get the result. I don't use update. Is that correct?

Also whats the difference to the result when using UTF-8 and ASCII encodings?

Here is my code:

byte[] ciphertext;

Cipher enc = Cipher.getInstance("DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");

enc.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, new SecretKeySpec(key, "DES"), new IvParameterSpec(vector));

// Is this the complete ciphertext?

ciphertext = encrypt.doFinal(data.getbytes("UTF-8"));

解决方案

The Javadoc for Cipher.doFinal(byte[]) says (in part with emphasis added),

Encrypts or decrypts data in a single-part operation, or finishes a multiple-part operation. The data is encrypted or decrypted, depending on how this cipher was initialized.

The bytes in the input buffer, and any input bytes that may have been buffered during a previous update operation, are processed, with padding (if requested) being applied. If an AEAD mode such as GCM/CCM is being used, the authentication tag is appended in the case of encryption, or verified in the case of decryption. The result is stored in a new buffer.

This is done so you don't have to read all of a file (for example) into memory in order to encrypt it.
