Hey Stephan,
Have you considered submitting this without so many options? For
example -- just unconditionally using ChaCha20 instead of the
configurable crypto API functions? And either removing the FIPS140
compliance code, and either unconditionally including it, or just
getting rid of it? And
Hi,
The patch set that can be downloaded at [1] provides a different approach to /
dev/random which I call Linux Random Number Generator (LRNG) to collect
entropy within the Linux kernel. The main improvements compared to the legacy
/dev/random is to provide sufficient entropy during boot time
