// EAX mode, not a NIST standard (yet).
// EAX provides encryption and authentication.
// EAX targets the same uses as NIST's CCM mode,
// but EAX adds the ability to run in streaming mode.

// See
// http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/toolkit/BCM/documents/proposedmodes/eax/eax-spec.pdf
// http://www.cs.ucdavis.edu/~rogaway/papers/eax.pdf
// What those papers call OMAC is now called CMAC.
