From: Stephan Mueller Subject: [PATCH 0/8] crypto: AF_ALG: add AEAD and RNG support Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2014 07:59:30 +0100 Message-ID: <4738444.A2vZX1nNCo@tachyon.chronox.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Cc: ABI/API , linux-crypto@vger.kernel.org, LKML To: Herbert Xu Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-crypto.vger.kernel.org Hi, This patch set adds AEAD and RNG support to the AF_ALG interface exported by the kernel crypto API. By extending AF_ALG with AEAD and RNG support, all cipher types the kernel crypto API allows access to are now accessible from userspace. The RNG support is stand-alone. The AEAD implementation is added to algif_skcipher.c to prevent re-implementation of the memory moving logic. The extension for the AEAD support can be summarized with the following types of changes: * select the correct crypto API functions (either the ablkcipher or the aead functions) * apply the additional data needed for AEAD at the right time (associated data, authentication tag) -- this includes the addition of user space interfaces to allow setting this data. * add the calculation for the memory size needed for encryption and decryption. In addition, the patch set adds a getsockopt implementation to skcipher to allow user space to inquire about properties of the ciphers (IV size, block size, authentication data size). This extension would be needed for a generic user space usage of these ciphers. The new AEAD and RNG interfaces are fully tested with the test application provided at [1]. That test application exercises all newly added user space interfaces. The patch set was tested on x86_64 and i386.
