+ * The purpose of this single block cipher API is to support the implementation

- * DOC: Single Block Cipher API
- *
- * The single block cipher API is used with the ciphers of type
- * CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_CIPHER (listed as type "cipher" in /proc/crypto).
- *
- * Using the single block cipher API calls, operations with the basic cipher
- * primitive can be implemented. These cipher primitives exclude any block
- * chaining operations including IV handling.
- *
- * The purpose of this single block cipher API is to support the implementation
- * of templates or other concepts that only need to perform the cipher operation
- * on one block at a time. Templates invoke the underlying cipher primitive
- * block-wise and process either the input or the output data of these cipher
- * operations.
