Security computation within Linux kernel

Hi every one, I have one question regarding security libraries, already shipped with Linux Kernel. That is, all PKI, RSA libraries, as provided by OpenSSL are already integrated within the linux kernel source code? OR, one have to use OpenSSL seperately in this regard. I can see,

LSM Stacking

Hi All, Within the security folder in the kernel tree, the 2.6.20 linux kernel distribution is shipped with a file root_plug.c (written by Greg Kroah-Hartman), which is a classic introduction to Linux Security Modules (LSM). The folder also contains the folder of SELinux. My question is that
