4 | | -Please note that the kernel crypto API contains the AEAD givcrypt API |
---|
5 | | -(crypto_aead_giv\* and aead_givcrypt\* function calls in |
---|
6 | | -include/crypto/aead.h). This API is obsolete and will be removed in the |
---|
7 | | -future. To obtain the functionality of an AEAD cipher with internal IV |
---|
8 | | -generation, use the IV generator as a regular cipher. For example, |
---|
9 | | -rfc4106(gcm(aes)) is the AEAD cipher with external IV generation and |
---|
10 | | -seqniv(rfc4106(gcm(aes))) implies that the kernel crypto API generates |
---|
11 | | -the IV. Different IV generators are available. |
