The advantage e.g. for pcrypt is that we can turn over the whole system to pcrypt, or we can choose for pcrypt by the algorithm name if we want to use it just for a subset of transforms. In particular we have a possibility to use pcrypt without touching other subsystems (like networking) and userspace tools for now. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
