- """Create a stateful counter block function suitable for CTR encryption modes.
- Each call to the function returns the next counter block.
- Each counter block is made up by three parts:
- +------+--------------+-------+
- |prefix| counter value|postfix|
- +------+--------------+-------+
- The counter value is incremented by 1 at each call.
- Args:
- nbits (integer):
- Length of the desired counter value, in bits. It must be a multiple of 8.
- prefix (byte string):
- The constant prefix of the counter block. By default, no prefix is
- used.
- suffix (byte string):
- The constant postfix of the counter block. By default, no suffix is
- used.
- initial_value (integer):
- The initial value of the counter. Default value is 1.
- Its length in bits must not exceed the argument ``nbits``.
- little_endian (boolean):
- If ``True``, the counter number will be encoded in little endian format.
- If ``False`` (default), in big endian format.
- allow_wraparound (boolean):
- This parameter is ignored.
- Returns:
- An object that can be passed with the :data:`counter` parameter to a CTR mode
- cipher.
- It must hold that *len(prefix) + nbits//8 + len(suffix)* matches the
- block size of the underlying block cipher.
