Description
Currently BlockCipher interface has methods without letting caller to specify length/offset. In some use cases like Presto, it is needed to pass in a byte array and the data to be encrypted only occupys partially of the array. So we need to add a new methods something like below for decrypt. Similar methods might be needed for encrypt.
byte[] decrypt(byte[] ciphertext, int cipherTextOffset, int cipherTextLength, byte[] aad);

Research direction
Start at the BlockCipher interface and inspect its implementations and callers to understand how encryption and decryption inputs are currently handled. The work is done when offset and length can be supplied for decryption and the corresponding encryption methods are defined consistently, with relevant behavior covered by tests.
