/**
* DOC: Authenticated Encryption With Associated Data (AEAD) Cipher API
*
* The AEAD cipher API is used with the ciphers of type CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_AEAD
* (listed as type "aead" in /proc/crypto)
*
* The most prominent examples for this type of encryption is GCM and CCM.
* However, the kernel supports other types of AEAD ciphers which are defined
* with the following cipher string:
*
* authenc(keyed message digest, block cipher)
*
* For example: authenc(hmac(sha256), cbc(aes))
*
* The example code provided for the symmetric key cipher operation
* applies here as well. Naturally all *skcipher* symbols must be exchanged
* the *aead* pendants discussed in the following. In addition, for the AEAD
* operation, the aead_request_set_ad function must be used to set the
* pointer to the associated data memory location before performing the
* encryption or decryption operation. In case of an encryption, the associated
* data memory is filled during the encryption operation. For decryption, the
* associated data memory must contain data that is used to verify the integrity
* of the decrypted data. Another deviation from the asynchronous block cipher
* operation is that the caller should explicitly check for -EBADMSG of the
* crypto_aead_decrypt. That error indicates an authentication error, i.e.
* a breach in the integrity of the message. In essence, that -EBADMSG error
* code is the key bonus an AEAD cipher has over "standard" block chaining
* modes.
*
* Memory Structure:
*
* To support the needs of the most prominent user of AEAD ciphers, namely
* IPSEC, the AEAD ciphers have a special memory layout the caller must adhere
* to.
*
* The scatter list pointing to the input data must contain:
*
* * for RFC4106 ciphers, the concatenation of
* associated authentication data || IV || plaintext or ciphertext. Note, the
* same IV (buffer) is also set with the aead_request_set_crypt call. Note,
* the API call of aead_request_set_ad must provide the length of the AAD and
* the IV. The API call of aead_request_set_crypt only points to the size of
* the input plaintext or ciphertext.
*
* * for "normal" AEAD ciphers, the concatenation of
* associated authentication data || plaintext or ciphertext.
*
* It is important to note that if multiple scatter gather list entries form
* the input data mentioned above, the first entry must not point to a NULL
* buffer. If there is any potential where the AAD buffer can be NULL, the
* calling code must contain a precaution to ensure that this does not result
* in the first scatter gather list entry pointing to a NULL buffer.
