[v3 PATCH 0/31] crypto: skcipher - Add support for no chaining and partial chaining

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

 



This patch-set adds support to the Crypto API and algif_skcipher
for algorithms that cannot be chained, as well as ones that can
be chained if you withhold a certain number of blocks at the end.

The vast majority of algorithms can be chained already, e.g., cbc
and lrw.  Everything else can either be modified to support chaining,
e.g., chacha and xts, or they cannot chain at all, e.g., keywrap.

Some drivers that implement algorithms which can be chained with
modification may not be able to support chaining due to hardware
limitations.  For now they're treated the same way as ones that
cannot be chained at all.

The algorithm arc4 has been left out of all this owing to ongoing
discussions regarding its future.

Thanks,
