=head1 NAME
life_cycle-cipher - The cipher algorithm life-cycle
=head1 DESCRIPTION
All symmetric ciphers (CIPHERs) go through a number of stages in their
life-cycle:
=over 4
=item start
This state represents the CIPHER before it has been allocated. It is the
starting state for any life-cycle transitions.
=item newed
This state represents the CIPHER after it has been allocated.
=item initialised
These states represent the CIPHER when it is set up and capable of processing
input. There are three possible initialised states:
=over 4
=item initialised using EVP_CipherInit
=item initialised for decryption using EVP_DecryptInit
=item initialised for encryption using EVP_EncryptInit
=back
=item updated
These states represent the CIPHER when it is set up and capable of processing
additional input or generating output. The three possible states directly
correspond to those for initialised above. The three different streams should
not be mixed.
=item finaled
This state represents the CIPHER when it has generated output.
=item freed
This state is entered when the CIPHER is freed. It is the terminal state
for all life-cycle transitions.
=back
=head2 State Transition Diagram
The usual life-cycle of a CIPHER is illustrated:
