[PATCH v4 08/11] crypto: qce: skcipher: Improve the conditions for requesting AES fallback cipher

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

 



The following are the conditions for requesting AES fallback cipher.
	-  AES-192
	- AES-XTS request with len <= 512 byte (Allow messages of length
	  less than 512 bytes for all other AES encryption algorithms other
	  than AES XTS)
	- AES-XTS request with len > QCE_SECTOR_SIZE and is not a multiple
	  of it
