Please note that the kernel crypto API contains the AEAD givcrypt API (crypto_aead_giv* and aead_givcrypt_* function calls in include/crypto/aead.h). This API is obsolete and will be removed in the future.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.
These data structures define the operating context for each block cipher type.
