Traits for describing block ciphers and stream ciphers
Documentation
//! Traits used to define functionality of [block ciphers][1].
//!
//! # About block ciphers
//!
//! Block ciphers are keyed, deterministic permutations of a fixed-sized input
//! "block" providing a reversible transformation to/from an encrypted output.
//! They are one of the fundamental structural components of [symmetric cryptography][2].
