2020-05-08 | crypto: lib/sha1 - remove unnecessary includes of linux/cryptohash.h | Eric Biggers | 1 | -1/+0 | |
<linux/cryptohash.h> sounds very generic and important, like it's the header to include if you're doing cryptographic hashing in the kernel. But actually it only includes the library implementation of the SHA-1 compression function (not even the full SHA-1). This should basically never be used anymore; SHA-1 is no longer considered secure, and there are much better ways to do cryptographic hashing in the kernel. Most files that include this header don't actually need it. So in preparation for removing it, remove all these unneeded includes of it.

2019-11-17 | crypto: chacha - move existing library code into lib/crypto | Ard Biesheuvel | 1 | -0/+115 | |
Currently, our generic ChaCha implementation consists of a permute function in lib/chacha.c that operates on the 64-byte ChaCha state directly [and which is always included into the core kernel since it is used by the /dev/random driver], and the crypto API plumbing to expose it as a skcipher. In order to support in-kernel users that need the ChaCha streamcipher but have no need [or tolerance] for going through the abstractions of the crypto API, let's expose the streamcipher bits via a library API as well, in a way that permits the implementation to be superseded by an architecture specific one if provided. So move the streamcipher code into a separate module in lib/crypto, and expose the init() and crypt() routines to users of the library.
