Yes; but see below.

Sure that you want log_fatal here?  This calls abort and thus
terminates the process.  I think it is better to use log_error.  Or do
you fear that callers do not check the return code?  Maybe we can add an
error state to gcry_cipher_hd_t to let all further operation fail.


Salam-Shalom,
