.Sh DESCRIPTION
Starting with some models of Core i5/i7, Intel processors implement
-new set of instructions called AESNI.
+a new set of instructions called AESNI.
The set of six instructions accelerates the calculation of the key
schedule for key lengths of 128, 192, and 256 of the Advanced
-Encryption Standard (AES) symmetric cipher, and provides the hardware
+Encryption Standard (AES) symmetric cipher, and provides hardware
implementation of the regular and the last encryption and decryption
rounds.

-required CPU capability.
