This implementation supports the parameters described in
L<EVP_EncryptInit(3)/PARAMETERS>.
=head1 NOTES
The SM4-XTS implementation allows streaming to be performed, but each
L<EVP_EncryptUpdate(3)> or L<EVP_DecryptUpdate(3)> call requires each input
to be a multiple of the blocksize. Only the final EVP_EncryptUpdate() or
EVP_DecryptUpdate() call can optionally have an input that is not a multiple
of the blocksize but is larger than one block. In that case ciphertext
stealing (CTS) is used to fill the block.
