Support for initializing a stream cipher from a
BlockCipherMut
.This is a corollary to
FromBlockCipher
, but for cases where&mut
access is needed to the inner block cipher instance (e.g. cryptographic accelerator hardware peripherals).Using chained blanket impls, it's possible to allow a blanket impl of
NewStreamCipher
for types which impl eitherFromBlockCipherMut
orFromBlockCipher
.
