Subject: [PATCH] crypto: don't raise alarm for no ctr(aes*) tests in fips mode
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 21:18:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200904282118.22823.jarod@redhat.com> (raw)

Per the NIST AESAVS document, Appendix A[1], it isn't possible to
have automated self-tests for counter-mode AES, but people are
misled to believe something is wrong by the message that says there
is no test for ctr(aes). Simply suppress all 'no test for ctr(aes*'
messages if fips_enabled is set to avoid confusion.

Dependent on earlier patch 'crypto: catch base cipher self-test
failures in fips mode', which adds the test_done label.
