 /// Defines the interface for AEAD ciphers.
 ///
 /// The [`AeadCipher`] trait provides a standard interface for initializing AEAD ciphers, and for
-/// performing encryption and decryption operations with additional AAD. This trait is implemented
+/// performing encryption and decryption operations with additional Authenticated Associated Data (AAD). This trait is implemented
 /// by either the [`ChaCha20Poly1305`] or [`Aes256Gcm`] specific cipher types, allowing them to be
 /// used interchangeably in cryptographic protocols. It is utilized by the
 /// [`crate::handshake::HandshakeOp`] trait to secure the handshake process.
