Types

type Algorithm

type Algorithm struct {
	Name     string
	Driver   string
	Module   string
	Priority int
	Type     Type
}

An Algorithm is an algorithm registered with the Linux kernel crypto API.

type Cipher

type Cipher struct {
	BlockSize  int
	MinKeySize int
	MaxKeySize int
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Cipher represents a cipher algorithm. *Cipher implements Type.

func (*Cipher) Type

func (t *Cipher) Type() string

Type implements Type.

type Conn

type Conn struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Conn is a connection to the Linux kernel crypto API's netlink interface.

func Dial

func Dial() (*Conn, error)

Dial dials a new connection to the Linux kernel crypto API's netlink interface.

func (*Conn) Algorithms

func (c *Conn) Algorithms() ([]*Algorithm, error)

Algorithms retrieves all algorithms registered with the Linux kernel crypto API.

func (*Conn) Close

func (c *Conn) Close() error

Close closes the connection.

type Hash

type Hash struct {
	BlockSize  int
	DigestSize int
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Hash represents a hash algorithm. *Hash implements Type.

func (*Hash) Type

func (t *Hash) Type() string

Type implements Type.

type Type

type Type interface {
	Type() string
}

A Type is a type of algorithm. Use a type assertion to access additional information about a Type.
