    """This class encapsulates the "standard" encrypt/decrypt procedure for the
    M-209 as found in the training film T.F. 11 - 1400.

    The procedure can be configured with an optional M-209, and optional key
    list to be used for the day. If the M-209 is not supplied, one will be
    created internally. Before an encrypt() operation can be performed, a key
    list must be supplied. This can be done at construction time or via the
    set_key_list() method.

    To perform a decrypt operation, a 3-step process must be used:
        1) Call set_decrypt_message(msg) - this passes the message to be
           decrypted to the procedure and establishes the parameters to be used
           for the actual decrypt() operation. These decrypt parameters are
           returned to the caller.
        2) The caller can examine the decrypt parameters to determine which key
           list must be installed before a successful decrypt() operation can be
           carried out. The caller may call get_key_list() to examine the
           current key list. It is up to the caller to obtain the required key
           list and install it with set_key_list(), if necessary. This is done
           by ensuring the installed key list indicator matches the key_list_ind
           field of the decrypt parameters.
        3) Finally decrypt() can be called. If the procedure does not have the
           key list necessary to decrypt the message, a ProcedureError is
           raised.
