However the point of having a library is to abstract those details from the
callers.  You wanted me to rewrite the library as AEAD algorithms, which I
have done as far as I can.  This makes the object for each kerberos enctype
look the same from the PoV of the clients.
I think there is some misunderstanding here.  For a library outside
of the Crypto API you can do whatever you want.

I only suggested AEAD because I thought you wanted to bring this within
the Crypto API.

Cheers,
