Hi Dmitry, Thanks for pointing out that patch. I does make bringing a full RSA API into the kernel easier, but it doesn't do it. I may end up doing it myself, and could certainly use the MPI library you're adding with that patch, but I'd rather not since I already have a lot on my plate. -- [ ]'s Michel Machado On Thu, 2011-08-11 at 22:00 +0300, Dmitry Kasatkin wrote: > Hi, > > Please look to the patch just before your email... > [RFC v1.1 2/5] crypto: ksign - digital signature verification support > > It implements RSA verification for IMA/EVM. > May be it would be interesting to you. > > - Dmitry > > On 11/08/11 21:30, Michel Machado wrote: > > Hi there, > > > > I'm implementing a new network stack in Linux's kernel [1], and I > > need a RSA implementation to keep the guarantees of the design [2]. > > > > Searching the archive of Linux's mailing lists, I've found that > > adding RSA to the kernel has been already tried, but it was left out > > because the uses were not convincing then. > > > > I intend to submit my work [3, 4] when I get a reasonable working > > version.
