Subject: Is akcipher ready for userspace?
Date: Fri, 10 May 2024 15:14:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240510151434.739fd5c5@dellmb> (raw)

Hello Herbert,

back in 2019 you wrote that akcipher is still in a state of flux and
not ready to be exposed to userspace via AF_ALG [1].

Has this changed since then?

I am asking because I am implementing another driver [2] for a device
which allows for signing messages with an ECDSA private key securely
stored inside the device, and Greg asks again [3] for this to be
exposed to userspace via a dedicated kernel API, instead of
debugfs.

Back in 2019 when we needed this for the turris-mox-rwtm driver, I
implemented it via debugfs because akcipher was not ready.

Thanks.

Marek
