Subject: [PATCH 5/8] DRBG: use kmalloc instead of kzalloc for V and C
Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2014 17:39:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1908749.s83x5fJMRR@myon.chronox.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <7044529.FG2KhbPc9P@myon.chronox.de>
When allocating V, C, the zeroization is only needed when
allocating a new instance of the DRBG, i.e. when performing an
initial seeding. For all other allocations, the memcpy implemented in
drbg_copy_drbg ensures that the memory is filled with the correct
information.
