=head2 Parameters

This implementation supports the parameters described in
L<EVP_EncryptInit(3)/PARAMETERS>.

=head1 NOTES

The AES-SIV and AES-WRAP mode implementations do not support streaming. That
means to obtain correct results there can be only one L<EVP_EncryptUpdate(3)>
or L<EVP_DecryptUpdate(3)> call after the initialization of the context.

When wrapping with AES-WRAP-PAD ciphers, the output buffer must be at least
I<inl> rounded up to the cipher block size (8 bytes) plus the block size.
That is, the minimum output buffer size is C<((inl + 7) / 8) * 8 + 8> bytes.

The AES-XTS implementations allow streaming to be performed, but each
L<EVP_EncryptUpdate(3)> or L<EVP_DecryptUpdate(3)> call requires each input
to be a multiple of the blocksize. Only the final EVP_EncryptUpdate() or
EVP_DecryptUpdate() call can optionally have an input that is not a multiple
of the blocksize but is larger than one block. In that case ciphertext
stealing (CTS) is used to fill the block.
