Message-ID: <20111229173101.GA3706@p183.telecom.by> (raw)

aalg_list array contains list of "approved" HMAC algorightms.
Do I understand correctly that to update this list some sort of
official document like RFC has to be present?

For example, it contains hmac(rmd160) entry, but doesn't contain hmac(rmd128)
and other RIPEMD functions (there is even test for hmac(rmd128)).

Also, kernel has more cryptographic hash functions than there are allowed
by ipsec code like Tiger hashes, Whirlpool etc. They are dead code, if
IPSec code doesn't user to use them.
