Re: [PATCH] crypto: Adds user space interface for ALG_SET_KEY_TYPE

Kalyani Akula [off-list ref] wrote:

ALG_SET_KEY_TYPE requires caller to pass the key_type to be used
for AES encryption/decryption.

Sometimes the cipher key will be stored in the device's
hardware (eFuse, BBRAM etc).So,there is a need to specify the information
about the key-type to use it for Encrypt or Decrypt operations.

This patch implements the above requirement.

This patch does not make sense by itself.  Please post it together
with the patches that will make use of this.
