The problem with right or wrong is that they are only known afterwards. For me the right way to go is _to go_. I can see discussions in this least, years ago on talks about the "perfect" userspace crypto api and rejections implementations because they are not perfect enough. I don't believe there is such thing as a perfect crypto api. Other operating systems have a userspace crypto API (maybe not perfect) but linux hasn't. I don't think this is the way to go. regards, Nikos -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
