Subject: where is that method defined?

I'm looking at ruby code for a class, for which I can call a method but
which I don't find in the class source code.

I suppose this is a feature of Ruby that I have yet to learn.
Can anyone help me please?

Specifically, the class is Cipher in openssl module (fully qualified
class name s OpenSSL::Cipher::Cipher) and its source code in Ruby
library is:

    class Cipher
      def random_key
        str = OpenSSL::Random.random_bytes(self.key_len)
        self.key = str
        return str
      end

      def random_iv
        str = OpenSSL::Random.random_bytes(self.iv_len)
        self.iv = str
        return str
      end
    end

Where does this class defines the cipher method?

Thanks!
