Subject: [PATCH] crypto: doc - remove references to ARC4
Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2019 20:19:37 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191207041937.97925-1-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>
arc4 is no longer considered secure, so it shouldn't be used, even as
just an example. Mention serpent and chacha20 instead.
