-Symmetric ciphers
------------------
-
-.. class:: CipherAlgorithm
-
-    A named symmetric encryption algorithm.
-
-    .. attribute:: name
-
-        :type: str
-
-        The standard name for the mode, for example, "AES", "Camellia", or
-        "Blowfish".
-
-    .. attribute:: key_size
-
-        :type: int
-
-        The number of bits in the key being used.
-
-
-.. class:: BlockCipherAlgorithm
-
-    A block cipher algorithm.
-
-    .. attribute:: block_size
-
-        :type: int
-
-        The number of bits in a block.

-Cipher modes
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Interfaces used by the symmetric cipher modes described in
-:ref:`Symmetric Encryption Modes <symmetric-encryption-modes>`.
-
-.. class:: Mode
-
-    A named cipher mode.
-
-    .. attribute:: name
-
-        :type: str
-
-        This should be the standard shorthand name for the mode, for example
-        Cipher-Block Chaining mode is "CBC".
-
-        The name may be used by a backend to influence the operation of a
-        cipher in conjunction with the algorithm's name.
-
-    .. method:: validate_for_algorithm(algorithm)
-
-        :param CipherAlgorithm algorithm:
-
-        Checks that the combination of this mode with the provided algorithm
-        meets any necessary invariants. This should raise an exception if they
-        are not met.
-
-        For example, the
-        :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.modes.CBC` mode uses
-        this method to check that the provided initialization vector's length
-        matches the block size of the algorithm.
-
-
-.. class:: ModeWithInitializationVector
-
-    A cipher mode with an initialization vector.
-
-    .. attribute:: initialization_vector
-
-        :type: bytes
-
-        Exact requirements of the initialization are described by the
-        documentation of individual modes.
-
-
-.. class:: ModeWithNonce
-
-    A cipher mode with a nonce.
-
-    .. attribute:: nonce
-
-        :type: bytes
-
-        Exact requirements of the nonce are described by the documentation of
-        individual modes.
