Description

Implementation of the OCB mode (RFC 7253).

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

OCB was initially an acronym for Offset CodeBook.

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

Note

This module requires Nettle 3.9 or later.
