I think crypto/asymmetric_keys/ needs to move to security/keys/asymmetric/ and then utilize akcipher and also PKCS 1 from crypto/ Regards Marcel -- 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
