* @ingroup sys
*
* @brief RIOT provides a collection of block cipher ciphers, different
operation modes and cryptographic hash algorithms.
*
* @section ciphers Ciphers
*
* Riot supports the following block ciphers:
* * AES-128
* * 3DES
* * Twofish
* * NULL
*
* You can use them directly by adding "crypto" to your USEMODULE-List.
* While you can use the ciphers functions directly, you should resort to
* the generic API for block ciphers whenever possible.
*
* Example:
* @code
* #include "crypto/ciphers.h"
*
* ciphter_t cipher;
* uint8_t key[16] = {0}, plain_text[16] = {0}, cipher_text[16] = {0};
*
* if (cipher_init(&cipher, CIPHER_AES_128, key, key_len) < 0)
* printf("Cipher init failed!\n");
*
* if (cipher_encrypt(&cipher, plain_text, cipher_text) < 0)
* printf("Cipher encryption!\n");
* @endcode
*
* If you need to encrypt data of arbitrary size take a look at the different
* operation modes like: CBC, CTR or CCM.
*
* Additional examples can be found in the test suite.
*
* @section hashes Hashes
*
* RIOT currently supports sha256 as a cryptographic hash implementation.
