Ok. I was not even aware that the assoc sg list can have more than one
entry, because esp sets up assoc as a single entry list and this is
actually the only user of authenc as far as I know.

Aside the optimization, another reason to use the digest interface was to
avoid callback functions for init, update and finup. I guess we can not
avoid this if assoc can be a sg list with more than one entry, so I'll
update the patch in this manner.
