\section{Ciphers}
Botan's Python interface provides a generic interface to any cipher
supported by the library. The class \type{botan.Cipher} takes three
arguments, all strings: first, the name of the algorith, second the
direction (which can be either ``encrypt'' or ``decrypt''), and
lastly, the key to use. For instance
\begin{verbatim}
encryptor = botan.Cipher("AES-128/EAX", "encrypt", key)
\end{verbatim}
creates an object that will encrypt and authenticate messages using
the EAX mode of operation using the AES cipher. To use this object,
call the \function{cipher} function with two arguments - the input
to encrypt, and the IV to use:
\begin{verbatim}
ciphertext = encryptor.cipher(input, salt)
\end{verbatim}
