-Several crypto algorithms fo OpenSSL can be used in a number of modes. The
-following text has been written in large parts by Eric Young in his original
-documentation for SSLeay, the predecessor of OpenSSL. In turn, he attributed
-it to:
-
- AS 2805.5.2
- Australian Standard
- Electronic funds transfer - Requirements for interfaces,
- Part 5.2: Modes of operation for an n-bit block cipher algorithm
- Appendix A
+Several crypto algorithms fo OpenSSL can be used in a number of modes. Those
+are used for using block ciphers in a way similar to stream ciphers, among
+other things.
