From 3b72c814a8e8cd638e1ba0da4dfce501e9dff5af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephan Mueller Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2016 04:54:22 +0200 Subject: crypto: doc - convert crypto API documentation to Sphinx With the conversion of the kernel crypto API DocBook to Sphinx, the monolithic document is broken up into individual documents. The documentation is unchanged with the exception of a slight reordering to keep the individual document parts self-contained.

This API is obsolete and will be removed in the +future.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.
