Hi,
dazu ein Auszug aus dem "post-halloween-2.5.txt" (
http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/post-halloween-2.5.txt ) von
Dave Jones <davej@codemonkey.org.uk>.
"Crypto
~~~~~~
- A generic crypto API has been merged, offering support for various
algorithms (HMAC,MD4,MD5,SHA-1,DES,Triple DES EDE, Blowfish)
- This functionality is used by IPSec and the crypto-loop. It's possible
that it will later also be available for use in userspace through a crypto
device, possibly compatible with the OpenBSD crypto userspace.
- The in-kernel loopback device can now do crypto using the CryptoAPI.
May need new userspace tools."
