Inheritance graph
Description

Implementation of the EAX mode.

Works as a wrapper for the cipher implemented by overloading the parent class (BlockCipher16).

This is a so-called authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD) algorithm, and in addition to encryption also provides message digests.

Note

This mode of operation was specified as a reaction to the limitiations of the BlockCipher16.CCM mode.

Note

Note that this module is not available in all versions of Nettle.
