[PATCH 0/8] crypto: aead - Use type-safe instance registration and remove cryptoff

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi:

This series of patches makes the new seqiv/echainiv implementation
use the type-safe instance registration mechanism.

It also removes the cryptoff parameter from the new AEAD interface.
The cryptoff parameter only existed to ease the pain on implementing
seqniv (i.e., skipping IV when generating ICV, used by GCM and CCM).

However it turns out that it only helped because the implementation
was buggy and totally ignored the IPsec user's cryptoff setting.

So the last three pathces remove that use of cryptoff and instead
rearranges the AD such that the gap left by the IV is filled.

Cheers,
