Subject: International kernel patch v2.2.0-pre4.1
International kernel patch 2.2.0-pre4.1 is available. The idea of the
patch is to collect all crypto patches so that using crypto in the
kernel will be easier than today.
The patch is available from:
ftp://ftp.kerneli.org/pub/linux/kerneli/v2.1/patch-int-2.2.0-pre4.1.gz
The major news since last announcement is that more ciphers have been
added (DES, IDEA, Blowfish).
NOTE: Please treat this patch as alpha software.
The following has changed since the last announcement (2.1.131.4):
1999-01-04 Alexander Kjeldaas <astor@guardian.no>
* International kernel patch 2.2.0-pre4.1 released.
* Removed obsolete loop_idea.c and loop_blow.c since IDEA and
blowfish algorithms have been added to the crypto library.
* drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c: Added loop_gen_init. loop_gen only
worked as a module.
1998-12-30 Alexander Kjeldaas <astor@guardian.no>
* crypto/testing/speed.c: i386-specific timer-code removed.
* crypto configuration added for all architectures (previously
only i386 was supported). However, 64-bit and endian issues needs
to be ironed out for a lot of platforms (maybe even i386).
1998-12-29 Alexander Kjeldaas <astor@guardian.no>
* International kernel patch 2.2.0-pre1.1 released.
* International kernel patch 2.1.131.8 released.
* DES/IDEA compile fixes.
1998-12-29 Raimar Falke <hawk@hawk.shef.ac.uk>
* DES cipher added. crypto/testing/speed.c fixes.
1998-12-18 Alexander Kjeldaas <astor@guardian.no>
* International kernel patch 2.1.131.7 released.
1998-12-18 Raimar Falke <hawk@hawk.shef.ac.uk>
* include-fixes for IDEA cipher.
1998-12-18 Alexander Kjeldaas <astor@guardian.no>
* International kernel patch 2.1.131.6 released.
1998-12-18 Raimar Falke <hawk@hawk.shef.ac.uk>
* IDEA cipher added.
1998-12-18 Patrice Lacroix <tootix@writeme.com>
* My latest patch for modular loop encryption. I think everything
is in there. Ciphers are only requested on LOOP_SET_STATUS. Module
count is always right (for what I have tested) and unloading now
works.
1998-12-17 Alexander Kjeldaas <astor@guardian.no>
* International kernel patch 2.1.131.5 released.
1998-12-17 Raimar Falke <hawk@hawk.shef.ac.uk>
* Extracted the blowfish code from loop_blow and made a
cipher-module of it.
1998-12-17 Alexander Kjeldaas <astor@guardian.no>
* Removed loop_serpent, loop_mars, loop_dfc and loop_rc6 since
their funcionality is available through loop_gen.
1998-12-16 Alexander Kjeldaas <astor@guardian.no>
* Removed loop_idea from the configuration menus. It hasn't been
converted to the new API.
1998-12-14 Alexander Kjeldaas <astor@guardian.no>
* Fixes to the rijndael cipher. It builds, but isn't working
properly so it it disabled for the moment. The cipher is from
Dr. Brian Gladman <gladman@seven77.demon.co.uk> AES
reimplementation project. More information on rijndael:
http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/~rijmen/rijndael/ Rijndael is free.
1998-12-14 Patrice Lacroix <tootix@writeme.com>
* More modular ciphers/loop patches. Cipher locking fixes.
Autoloading of ciphers. More loop and loop_gen integration.
On the ftp-site, the directory /pub/linux/kernel is a normal
kernel-mirror while /pub/linux/kerneli is a kernel-mirror plus the
international kernel patch. You should find all utilities needed for
using crypto in the kernel in /pub/linux/kerneli/net-source/.
Enjoy,
astor
