config CRYPTO_SHA256
	tristate "SHA256 digest algorithm"
	depends on CRYPTO
	help
	  SHA256 secure hash standard (DFIPS 180-2).

	tristate "SHA384 and SHA512 digest algorithms"
	depends on CRYPTO
	help
	  SHA512 secure hash standard (DFIPS 180-2).
	  
	  This version of SHA implements a 512 bit hash with 256 bits of
	  security against collision attacks.

	  This code also includes SHA-384, a 384 bit hash with 192 bits
	  of security against collision attacks.

config CRYPTO_DES
	tristate "DES and Triple DES EDE cipher algorithms"
	depends on CRYPTO
	help
	  DES cipher algorithm (FIPS 46-2), and Triple DES EDE (FIPS 46-3).

config CRYPTO_BLOWFISH
	tristate "Blowfish cipher algorithm"
	depends on CRYPTO
	help
	  Blowfish cipher algorithm, by Bruce Schneier.
	  
	  This is a variable key length cipher which can use keys from 32
	  bits to 448 bits in length.  It's fast, simple and specifically
	  designed for use on "large microprocessors".

config CRYPTO_TWOFISH
	tristate "Twofish cipher algorithm"
	depends on CRYPTO
	help
	  Twofish cipher algorithm.
	  
	  Twofish was submitted as an AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
	  candidate cipher by researchers at CounterPane Systems.  It is a
	  16 round block cipher supporting key sizes of 128, 192, and 256
	  bits.
	  
	  See also:

config CRYPTO_SERPENT
	tristate "Serpent cipher algorithm"
	depends on CRYPTO
	help
	  Serpent cipher algorithm, by Anderson, Biham & Knudsen.

	  Keys are allowed to be from 0 to 256 bits in length, in steps
	  of 8 bits.

	  See also:
	  http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/serpent.html

config CRYPTO_AES
	tristate "AES cipher algorithms"
	depends on CRYPTO
	help
	  AES cipher algorithms (FIPS-197). AES uses the Rijndael 
	  algorithm.

	  Rijndael appears to be consistently a very good performer in
	  both hardware and software across a wide range of computing 
	  environments regardless of its use in feedback or non-feedback 
	  modes. Its key setup time is excellent, and its key agility is 
	  good. Rijndael's very low memory requirements make it very well 
	  suited for restricted-space environments, in which it also 
	  demonstrates excellent performance. Rijndael's operations are 
	  among the easiest to defend against power and timing attacks.	

	  The AES specifies three key sizes: 128, 192 and 256 bits	  

	  See http://csrc.nist.gov/CryptoToolkit/aes/ for more information.

config CRYPTO_CAST5
	tristate "CAST5 (CAST-128) cipher algorithm"
	depends on CRYPTO
	help
	  The CAST5 encryption algorithm (synonymous with CAST-128) is
	  described in RFC2144.

config CRYPTO_CAST6
	tristate "CAST6 (CAST-256) cipher algorithm"
	depends on CRYPTO
	help
	  The CAST6 encryption algorithm (synonymous with CAST-256) is
	  described in RFC2612.

config CRYPTO_ARC4
	tristate "ARC4 cipher algorithm"
	depends on CRYPTO
	help
	  ARC4 cipher algorithm.

	  This is a stream cipher using keys ranging from 8 bits to 2048
	  bits in length.  ARC4 is commonly used in protocols such as WEP 
	  and SSL.

	select ZLIB_DEFLATE
	help
	  This is the Deflate algorithm (RFC1951), specified for use in
	  IPSec with the IPCOMP protocol (RFC3173, RFC2394).
	  
	  You will most probably want this if using IPSec.

	tristate "Testing module"
	depends on CRYPTO
	help
	  Quick & dirty crypto test module.
