BigNum support in Kernel?

2007-07-09 Thread Gautam Singaraju
All, I am planning to work on some experimental crypto support in kernel level. For the development, I need to use BigNum library. I wanted to load a minimal BigNum library into memory for high performance. Any suggestions on what library would be the best? --- Gautam - To unsubscribe from this

RSA support into kernel?

2007-07-05 Thread Gautam Singaraju
Is there any attempt being made to provide software based RSA cryptographic support in kernel? I see that Linux supports Hardware based cryptographic devices (VIA Padlock ACE). How is the performance of such hardware? How well are these devices supported? -GS - To unsubscribe from this list: send

Anton, I had used the 2.6.12 kernel with the latest Inotify. There was no "I_WILL_FREE" in the any place. And, there was no problem in compilation. I believe Inotify is very useful and should be included in the next versions of the kernel. Are there any ongoing plans for this? Than
