I have though on this issue and the result was as following: any given
copher is a subclass of class Cipher which has three public methods - the
constructor, encrypt() and decrypt(). The key is supplied to __init__() when
instantiating the class and you later use the object to enrypt with the
key. Seemed pretty straightforward to me.
