(i.e. `int pad = k % blockSize;`) This would be more resilient for handling a user-supplied value.

I am not sure that we can make the assumption `the content of out (between 0 and outOfs) is previously generated output of a multi-part operation`. It's possible that the output buffer starts at a non-zero offset for storing the encrypt/decrypted data.
