DESCRIPTION
       ssaasslleennccooddee  encodes  data  to  be sent to be sent to a remote host who
       we've had a successful authentication session with. If there is a nego-
       tiated  security  the data in signed/encrypted and the output should be
       sent without modification to the remote host. If there is  no  security
       layer the output is identical to the input.

       ssaasslleennccooddeevv does the same, but for a struct iovec instead of a charac-
       ter buffer.

       output contains the encoded data and is allocated/freed by the library.
