/* Authenticated Encryption with Additional Data.
*
* AEAD couples confidentiality and integrity in a single primtive. AEAD
* algorithms take a key and then can seal and open individual messages. Each
* message has a unique, per-message nonce and, optionally, additional data
* which is authenticated but not included in the ciphertext.
*
* The |EVP_AEAD_CTX_init| function initialises an |EVP_AEAD_CTX| structure and
* performs any precomputation needed to use |aead| with |key|. The length of
* the key, |key_len|, is given in bytes.
*
* The |tag_len| argument contains the length of the tags, in bytes, and allows
* for the processing of truncated authenticators. A zero value indicates that
* the default tag length should be used and this is defined as
* |EVP_AEAD_DEFAULT_TAG_LENGTH| in order to make the code clear. Using
* truncated tags increases an attacker's chance of creating a valid forgery.
* Be aware that the attacker's chance may increase more than exponentially as
* would naively be expected.
*
* When no longer needed, the initialised |EVP_AEAD_CTX| structure must be
* passed to |EVP_AEAD_CTX_cleanup|, which will deallocate any memory used.
*
* With an |EVP_AEAD_CTX| in hand, one can seal and open messages. These
* operations are intended to meet the standard notions of privacy and
* authenticity for authenticated encryption. For formal definitions see
* Bellare and Namprempre, "Authenticated encryption: relations among notions
* and analysis of the generic composition paradigm," Lecture Notes in Computer
* Science B<1976> (2000), 531–545,
* http://www-cse.ucsd.edu/~mihir/papers/oem.html.
*
* When sealing messages, a nonce must be given. The length of the nonce is
* fixed by the AEAD in use and is returned by |EVP_AEAD_nonce_length|. *The
* nonce must be unique for all messages with the same key*. This is critically
* important - nonce reuse may completely undermine the security of the AEAD.
* Nonces may be predictable and public, so long as they are unique. Uniqueness
* may be achieved with a simple counter or, if large enough, may be generated
* randomly. The nonce must be passed into the "open" operation by the receiver
* so must either be implicit (e.g. a counter), or must be transmitted along
* with the sealed message.
*
* The "seal" and "open" operations are atomic - an entire message must be
* encrypted or decrypted in a single call. Large messages may have to be split
* up in order to accomodate this. When doing so, be mindful of the need not to
* repeat nonces and the possibility that an attacker could duplicate, reorder
* or drop message chunks. For example, using a single key for a given (large)
* message and sealing chunks with nonces counting from zero would be secure as
* long as the number of chunks was securely transmitted. (Otherwise an
* attacker could truncate the message by dropping chunks from the end.)
*
* The number of chunks could be transmitted by prefixing it to the plaintext,
* for example. This also assumes that no other message would ever use the same
* key otherwise the rule that nonces must be unique for a given key would be
* violated.
*
* The "seal" and "open" operations also permit additional data to be
* authenticated via the |ad| parameter. This data is not included in the
* ciphertext and must be identical for both the "seal" and "open" call. This
* permits implicit context to be authenticated but may be empty if not needed.
*
* The "seal" and "open" operations may work in-place if the |out| and |in|
* arguments are equal. They may also be used to shift the data left inside the
* same buffer if |out| is less than |in|. However, |out| may not point inside
* the input data otherwise the input may be overwritten before it has been
* read. This situation will cause an error.
*
* The "seal" and "open" operations return one on success and zero on error. */
