This ECDSA implementation is analogous to the RSA kernel implementation for
signature generation / verification. It extends ECC family of algorithms
like ECDH to support signature verification using akcipher. This will be
used in a way similar to RSA.
Yes but RSA had an in-kernel user in the form of module signature
verification. We don't add algorithms to the kernel without
actual users. So this patch-set needs to come with an actual
in-kernel user of ECDSA.
If this is about ECC in kernel then ECDSA extends ECDH which is from ECC
and already part of kernel.
If none of the above are sufficient for now then let these patches come
along with a consumer or let kernel add ECDSA based on akcipher as part
of a crypto engine.
Nonetheless, how about rest of the vli and ECC patches?
Thanks,
