Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/7] crypto: remove ARC4 support from the skcipher API
Date: Thu,  2 Jul 2020 12:19:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200702101947.682-5-ardb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200702101947.682-1-ardb@kernel.org>

Remove the generic ecb(arc4) skcipher, which is slightly cumbersome from
a maintenance perspective, since it does not quite behave like other
skciphers do in terms of key vs IV lifetime. Since we are leaving the
library interface in place, which is used by the various WEP and TKIP
implementations we have in the tree, we can safely drop this code now
it no longer has any users.

-	  ARC4 is a stream cipher using keys ranging from 8 bits to 2048
-	  bits in length.  This algorithm is required for driver-based
-	  WEP, but it should not be for other purposes because of the
