Crypto hash function decryption

[Gadre Nayan <gadrenayan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I wanted to implement a simple encryption decryption of data in kernel
space to start with the kernel crypto library.

I have the following:

int myFunction() {

        struct scatterlist sg;
        struct crypto_hash *tfm;
        struct hash_desc desc;
        unsigned char input[21];

        pr_err("Starting Crypto hash function\n");
        strcpy(input, "12345678901234567890");

        tfm = crypto_alloc_hash("sha1", 0, CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC);

        desc.tfm = tfm;
        desc.flags = 0;

        sg_init_one(&sg, input, 21);
        crypto_hash_init(&desc);

        crypto_hash_update(&desc, &sg, 10);
        crypto_hash_final(&desc, dataptr);

        crypto_free_hash(tfm);
        pr_err("Encryption done\nip: %s\nop: %s\n", input, dataptr);


        return 0;
}

So I can get this function to encrypt the data. I wanted to know how I
can decrypt this data (dataptr) back to my original string "123....".

What api's should I use.

THanks.
