.. \*(C` and \*(C' are quotes in nroff, nothing in troff, for use with C<>.
. ds C` "" . ds C' "" 'br\} . ds C` . ds C' 'br\}
Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "LIFE_CYCLE-MAC 7ossl" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
life_cycle-mac - The MAC algorithm life-cycle Header "DESCRIPTION" All message authentication codes (MACs) go through a number of stages in their life-cycle: Item "start" This state represents the MAC before it has been allocated. It is the starting state for any life-cycle transitions. Item "newed" This state represents the MAC after it has been allocated. Item "initialised" This state represents the MAC when it is set up and capable of processing input. Item "updated" This state represents the MAC when it is set up and capable of processing additional input or generating output. Item "finaled" This state represents the MAC when it has generated output. Item "freed" This state is entered when the MAC is freed. It is the terminal state for all life-cycle transitions. Subsection "State Transition Diagram" The usual life-cycle of a MAC is illustrated: +-------------------+ | start | +-------------------+ | | EVP_MAC_CTX_new v +-------------------+ | newed | +-------------------+ | | EVP_MAC_init v +-------------------+ +> | initialised | <+ | +-------------------+ | | | | | | EVP_MAC_update | EVP_MAC_init | v | EVP_MAC_init | +-------------------+ | | | updated | -+ | +-------------------+ | | | | | EVP_MAC_final | EVP_MAC_finalXOF | v v | +-------------------+ +- | finaled | +-------------------+ | | EVP_MAC_CTX_free v +-------------------+ | freed | +-------------------+ Subsection "Formal State Transitions" This section defines all of the legal state transitions. This is the canonical list. Function Call --------------------- Current State ---------------------- start newed initialised updated finaled freed EVP_MAC_CTX_new newed EVP_MAC_init initialised initialised initialised initialised EVP_MAC_update updated updated EVP_MAC_final finaled EVP_MAC_finalXOF finaled EVP_MAC_CTX_free freed freed freed freed freed EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params newed initialised updated EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params newed initialised updated EVP_MAC_CTX_gettable_params newed initialised updated EVP_MAC_CTX_settable_params newed initialised updated Header "NOTES" At some point the EVP layer will begin enforcing the transitions described herein.
