If that is the case, then in order to fully support async hashing, I would
need an async version of HASH interface and an async version of digest. Am I
correct?
Yes. In case you support hmac+sha1 in HW and you don't do sha1 (as
digest) at all you could skip

Questions:
2. What is the difference between digest and hash type besides one
operation on transformation structure (tfm) and the other on descriptor
(desc)?
They are used for different things.
Digest is something like sha1 or md5. You just feed your

Hi,
For hashing, there are HMAC key if HMAC and digest size. As digest size
is part of the algorithm, there is only HMAC key. Are you referring to
moving the HMAC key from transformation into the request structure? As I
am modeled
into the request
just like ablkcipher.

Hi Herbert,
Begin of next year, I will be start adding asynchronous hashing support.
I would like to check with you before I start. Besides modeled after
crypto async block cipher, do you have any suggestion?
Thanks for looking into
Hi,
I am about to start developing a new device driver for new crypto hardware.
I am thinking of starting with Linux CryptoAPI interface. But I have the
following requirement:
1. Asynchronous encrypt/decrypt
2. Asynchronous hashing
3. Asynchronous combined mode (GCM, CCM, and GMAC) 4
