+/**
+ * This module implements the anti-forensic splitter that is specified
+ * as part of the LUKS format:
+ *
+ * http://clemens.endorphin.org/cryptography
+ * http://clemens.endorphin.org/TKS1-draft.pdf
+ *
+ * The core idea is to take a short piece of data (key material)
+ * and process it to expand it to a much larger piece of data.
+ * The expansion process is reversible, to obtain the original
+ * short data. The key property of the expansion is that if any
+ * byte in the larger data set is changed / missing, it should be
+ * impossible to recreate the original short data.
+ *
+ * <example>
+ * <title>Creating a large split key for storage</title>
+ * <programlisting>
+ * size_t nkey = 32;
+ * uint32_t stripes = 32768; // To produce a 1 MB split key
+ * uint8_t *masterkey = ....a 32-byte AES key...
+ * uint8_t *splitkey;
+ *
+ * splitkey = g_new0(uint8_t, nkey * stripes);
+ *
+ * if (qcrypto_afsplit_encode(QCRYPTO_HASH_ALG_SHA256,
+ * nkey, stripes,
+ * masterkey, splitkey, errp) < 0) {
+ * g_free(splitkey);
+ * g_free(masterkey);
+ * return -1;
+ * }
+ *
+ * ...store splitkey somewhere...
+ *
+ * g_free(splitkey);
+ * g_free(masterkey);
