From 4418c7b717567a78280798f86ece467d849c128e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Reyk Floeter Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2015 07:41:29 +0000 Subject: Add EVP_AEAD_CTX_init(3) manpage to document the new(ish) AEAD API. The "authenticated encryption with additional data" API is used for ciphers like AES-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305. The manpage is a beginning and certainly needs more work, especially improvements in the EXAMPLES section. Based on agl's source code comments.
