* [CRYPTO] api: Allow multiple frontends per backendHerbert Xu2007-02-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | This patch adds support for multiple frontend types for each backend algorithm by passing the type and mask through to the backend type init function. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* [CRYPTO] api: Add type-safe spawnsHerbert Xu2007-02-071-2/+11
| | | | | | This patch allows spawns of specific types (e.g., cipher) to be allocated. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* [CRYPTO] api: Remove deprecated interfaceHerbert Xu2007-02-071-1/+1
| | | | | | This patch removes the old cipher interface and related code. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* [CRYPTO] api: Add common instance initialisation codeHerbert Xu2006-09-211-0/+53
| | | | | | | | This patch adds the helpers crypto_get_attr_alg and crypto_alloc_instance which can be used by simple one-argument templates like hmac to process input parameters and allocate instances. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* [CRYPTO] api: Added spawnsHerbert Xu2006-09-211-16/+169
| | | | | | | | | | Spawns lock a specific crypto algorithm in place. They can then be used with crypto_spawn_tfm to allocate a tfm for that algorithm. When the base algorithm of a spawn is deregistered, all its spawns will be automatically removed. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [CRYPTO] api: Allow algorithm lookup by typeHerbert Xu2006-09-211-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch also adds the infrastructure to pick an algorithm based on their type. For example, this allows you to select the encryption algorithm "aes", instead of any algorithm registered under the name "aes". For now this is only accessible internally. Eventually it will be made available through crypto_alloc_tfm. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [CRYPTO] api: Added event notificationHerbert Xu2006-09-211-1/+49
| | | | | | | | | This patch adds a notifier chain for algorithm/template registration events. This will be used to register compound algorithms such as cbc(aes). In future this will also be passed onto user-space through netlink. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [CRYPTO] api: Add template registrationHerbert Xu2006-09-211-22/+134
| | | | | | | | | A crypto_template generates a crypto_alg object when given a set of parameters. this patch adds the basic data structure fo templates and code to handle their registration/deregistration.

* [CRYPTO] api: Split out low-level APIHerbert Xu2006-09-211-0/+118
The crypto API is made up of the part facing users such as IPsec and the low-level part which is used by cryptographic entities such as algorithms. This patch splits out the latter so that the two APIs are more clearly delineated. As a bonus the low-level API can now be modularised if all algorithms are built as modules.
