Crypto API

[chrysti]

Hello,

This is a beginners question ! :)
I open a console and type :
cat /proc/cryptoso I could check the algorithms that are actually embedded into the kernel I use and the only results that I see are the followings :

$ cat /proc/crypto
name : crc32c
driver : crc32c-generic
module : crc32c
priority : 100
refcnt : 2
selftest : passed
type : shash
blocksize : 1
digestsize : 4

name : stdrng
driver : krng
module : kernel
priority : 200
refcnt : 1
selftest : passed
type : rng
seedsize : 0

name : md5
driver : md5-generic
module : kernel
priority : 0
refcnt : 1
selftest : passed
type : shash
blocksize : 64
digestsize : 16
I am using this version of the kernel :

$ uname -a
Linux test-pc 2.6.35-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 17:40:48 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
I would like to know how I can add more algorithms to the kernel.

Thanks in advance !
