RSA verification in the kernel

RSA verification in the kernel

[Dmitry Kasatkin]

Hi,

Does anybody know if there is a GPL implementation of RSA verification
for the Linux kernel?

I know DigSig, but is anything recent available?

Thanks,
Dmitry

In NCR [http://home.gna.org/cryptodev-linux/ncr.html] I've added RSA and DSA
using the public domain libtommath/libtomcrypt. You could use them. The internal
API for RSA is the libtomcrypt one.

Hi,

Indeed. Forgot about it. I even have that repo on my computer: newapi
branch.

Thanks,

Dmitry

I wonder if such code can be integrated to Linux kernel..
It needs to be GPL..
Can this "F..G" license be converted to GPL...?

I see that there is new maintainer of libtomcrypt and such and uses this
licence. This wasn't the case when I started working on that, thus
my code is based on the last public domain one released by Tom
(and is also pretty modified).
