    <dd>Initialization vector (IV) to use. Required for some ciphers and GMAC.
    Cipher modes CBC, CFB, OFB and CTR all need an IV while ECB mode does not.
    A new, random IV should be created for each use. Think of the IV as a nonce
    (number used once), it's public but random and unpredictable. See the
   <a href="#tls::cipher"><b>tls::cipher</b></a> command for iv size and
    when required.</dd>
   <a href="#tls::cipher"><b>tls::cipher</b></a> for iv_length and
    when required (length > 0). If not set, it will default to \x00 fill data.</dd>

<dl>
    <dt><a name="-key"><strong>-key</strong> <em>string</em></a></dt>
    <dd>Encryption key to use for cryptography function. Can be a binary or
    text string. Longer keys provide better protection. Used by ciphers, HMAC,
    some CMAC, and some KDF implementations. Key lengths less than <b>key_length</b>
    size may be padded or rejected. See the
    <a href="#tls::cipher"><b>tls::cipher</b></a> command for key size.</dd>
    some CMAC, and some KDF implementations. If the length of the key is &lt;
    <b>key_length</b> it will be padded. If &gt; key_length, it will be rejected.
    See the <a href="#tls::cipher"><b>tls::cipher</b></a> for key_length.</dd>

<dl>
    <dt><a name="-mac"><strong>-mac</strong> <em>name</em></a></dt>
    <dd>Name of Message Authentication Code (MAC) to use.
    See <a href="#tls::mac"><b>tls::macs</b></a> for the valid values.</dd>

<h4>Info Commands</h4>

    <dt><a name="tls::cipher"><strong>tls::cipher</strong> <em>name</em></a></dt>
    <dd>Return a list of property names and values describing cipher
	<i>name</i>. Properties include name, description, block_size,
	key_length, iv_length, type, and mode list.</dd>
	key_length, iv_length, type, and mode list. If block-size is 1,
	then it's a stream cipher, otherwise it's a block cipher.</dd>

    <dt><a name="tls::ciphers"><strong>tls::ciphers</strong>
    <em>?protocol? ?verbose? ?supported?</em></a></dt>
    <dd>Without any args, returns a list of all symmetric ciphers for use with
	the <a href="#-cipher"><b>-cipher</b></a> option. With <em>protocol</em>,
	only the ciphers supported for that protocol are returned. See
	<b>tls::protocols</b> command for the supported protocols. If

    <dd>Removes the top level cryptographic transform from channel <em>channelId</em>.</dd>
