Class __builtin.Nettle.AEAD

Description

Base class for AEAD (Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) algorithms.

AEAD algorithms behave like a combination of a Cipher and a HMAC.

Note that no actual AEAD algorithm is implemented in the base class. They are implemented in classes that inherit this class.
