; Summary: Support asymetric RSA in Crypto API
; Proposer: Tim Bird, Sony Mobile

== Description ==
The current AF_ALG interface to user space only
supports hash and symmetric algorithms.
Some user applications may want to utilize HW
crypto engine's asymetric algorithm, like RSA.
The purpose of this project would be to add full RSA
support in the kernel, extending the crypto API if needed.
