Linux Crypto Driver Development: Hash Algorithm

by

Overview The Linux kernel provides a complete cryptographic algorithm framework (Crypto API), supporting hardware acceleration and software implementation for various cryptographic operations. In actual driver development, we often need to integrate multiple cryptographic algorithms (such as SHA256, AES-CTR, RSA2048, etc.) into the same cryptographic hardware device, utilizing its dedicated computational capabilities to enhance system performance … Read more

Introduction to the Linux Kernel Crypto API

Overview The Linux Kernel Crypto API provides a rich set of encryption algorithms and other data transformation mechanisms, defining a unified method for invoking these mechanisms. In the Kernel Crypto API, all algorithms are collectively referred to as “transformations”; thus, handle variables related to cryptographic algorithms are typically named <span>tfm</span>. In addition to encryption operations, … Read more
