Hi, I have ben told that the Linux kernel contains cryptographic code in many places. U.S. export restrictions forbid to export software that contains cryptographic code to certain countries, such as Iran. This also applies to the Linux kernel.
Would it be possible to build a kernel that does not contain cryptographic algorithms? I understand that several cryptographic options can be disabled through "make menuconfig". But, will that be enough or are there crypto routines in the kernel that cannot be removed? Note that disabling cryptographic functionality is not enough, the cryptographic code may not be compiled and linked into the binary kernel image at all. Nor may any cryptographic library, kernel or user module contain cryptographic functionality. Thanks for you answer! thehog. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
