From 51f83548edb1f64b4425230e2b3492234e4e4dad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Lamprecht Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2021 20:26:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] docs: drop uncommon spelled out GCM It does not help users if that is spelled out, and its not a common use of GCM, and especially in the AES 256 context its clear what is meant. The link to Wikipedia stays, so interested people can still read up on it and others get a better overview due to the text being more concise.
