2015-03-09crypto: doc - AEAD / RNG AF_ALG interfaceStephan Mueller1-0/+596
The patch moves the information provided in Documentation/crypto/crypto-API-userspace.txt into a separate chapter in the kernel crypto API DocBook. Some corrections are applied (such as removing a reference to Netlink when the AF_ALG socket is referred to). In addition, the AEAD and RNG interface description is now added. Also, a brief description of the zero-copy interface with an example code snippet is provided.

2015-03-04crypto: doc - describe internal structureStephan Mueller1-0/+264
The kernel crypto API has many indirections which warrant a description as otherwise one can get easily lost. The description explains the layers of the kernel crypto API based on examples. Signed-off-by: Stephan Mueller <smueller@chronox.de> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
