VMAC and UMAC are highly efficient MACs. VMAC-AE and UMAC-AE use those MACs
in conjunction with AES in counter mode to provide authenticated encryption.
The sepcifications of UMAC-AE and VMAC-AE allow for a single key to
be used for both authentication and encryption, thus saving memory and
key-managment with respect to traditional methods.
