So about this chunksize, is it ever expected to assume other values than 1 (for stream ciphers) or the block size (for block ciphers)? Having block size, IV size *and* chunk size fields may be confusing to some already, so if the purpose of chunk size can be fulfilled by a single 'stream cipher' flag, perhaps we should change that first. -- 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
