This API is obsolete and will be removed in the -future. To obtain the functionality of an AEAD cipher with internal IV -generation, use the IV generator as a regular cipher. For example, -rfc4106(gcm(aes)) is the AEAD cipher with external IV generation and -seqniv(rfc4106(gcm(aes))) implies that the kernel crypto API generates -the IV. Different IV generators are available. - .. class:: toc-title Table of contents |
