-The API currently supports three types of transforms: Ciphers, Digests and
-Compressors. The compression algorithms especially seem to be performing
-very well so far.
+The API currently supports five main types of transforms: AEAD (Authenticated
+Encryption with Associated Data), Block Ciphers, Ciphers, Compressors and
+Hashes.
+
+Please note that Block Ciphers is somewhat of a misnomer. It is in fact
+meant to support all ciphers including stream ciphers. The difference
+between Block Ciphers and Ciphers is that the latter operates on exactly
+one block while the former can operate on an arbitrary amount of data,
+subject to block size requirements (i.e., non-stream ciphers can only
+process multiples of blocks).
