May I ask why the authentication part is done manually here? Why not using an 
AEAD cipher like the authenc() ciphers, or CCM (I would not recommend GCM 
though)? In this case, the encryption/decryption operation would automatically 
perform the creation of the hash and the verification of the hash. I.e. 
decryption can return EBADMSG which indicates an authentication failure.

Same here, the creation of the hash would be implicit during the encryption.
