Mark EAX AEAD mode as deprecated in man and code.

Open ni4 opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Description

Latest draft of rfc4880-bis deprecates usage of EAX mode:

EAX mode is deprecated due to the far better properties of the OCB mode.
Implementations may use EAX mode only for decryption of existing data.

(see https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-koch-openpgp-2015-rfc4880bis-01.txt)

So we should let the users/developers know that it is deprecated.
