That should be CRYPTO_USER_API which is the option for af_alg.
CRYPTO_USER is the configurati
Cryptographic algorithms may have a lifespan that is significantly
shorter than Linux's, and so we need to start phasing out algorithms
that are known to be broken, and are no longer fit for general use.
RC4 (or arc4) is a good example here: there are a few areas where its
use is still somewhat ac
