 |
|
Hello
I have a problem I was hoping someone could help me sort out.
Are there any way to change the priority of the ciphers listed in /proc/crypto,
| Code: |
name : aes
driver : aes-generic
module : kernel
priority : 100
refcnt : 1
type : cipher
blocksize : 16
min keysize : 16
max keysize : 32
|
| Code: |
name : aes
driver : aes-i586
module : kernel
priority : 200
refcnt : 13
type : cipher
blocksize : 16
min keysize : 16
max keysize : 32
|
I assume the higher the priority the more preference for a cipher to be used, or is it the other way around?
Is there any way to change what priority the ciphers are getting?
The reason I want to do this, I have a HiFn hardware crypto card, and the crypto modules injected into /proc/crypto by this card seems to take preference over the standard kernel ones, and I would very much like to choose what crypto modules will be used by default. |
