OFB: the Output Feedback mode makes a block cipher into a synchronous
stream cipher. It generates keystream blocks, which are then XORed
with the plaintext blocks to get the ciphertext. Flipping a bit in the
ciphertext produces a flipped bit in the plaintext at the same
location. This property allows many error correcting codes to function
normally even when applied before encryption.
