Hi,

I am trying to write a hmac(sha1) algorithm and I have a few questions. 
I have a HW crypto accelerator that does the actual crypto work. I have 
already successfully implemented sha1 by creating a 
CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_DIGEST algorithm.

1) Can I implement hmac(sha1) as a CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_DIGEST algorithm 
(i.e. use very similar code to sha1)?

2) Do I need to create a CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_HASH algorithm?

3) Is it possible to implement hmac(sha1) as both CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_DIGEST 
and CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_HASH?

4) If I use a CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_HASH, I need to understand the scatterwalk 
api, is there any help on the subject?

Regards,
Dimitris
