+     The concepts of the kernel crypto API visible to kernel space is fully
+     applicable to the user space interface as well. Therefore, the kernel
+     crypto API high level discussion for the in-kernel use cases applies
+     here as well.
+    </para>
+

+     The following covers the user space interface exported by the kernel
+     crypto API. A working example of this description is libkcapi that

+     applications that require cryptographic services from the kernel.

+     Some details of the in-kernel kernel crypto API aspects do not

+     synchronous and asynchronous invocations. The user space API call
+     is fully synchronous.

+    <para>
+     The kernel crypto API is accessible from user space. Currently,
+     the following ciphers are accessible:

+
+    <para>
+     The interface is provided via socket type using the type AF_ALG.
+     In addition, the setsockopt option type is SOL_ALG. In case the
+     user space header files do not export these flags yet, use the
+     following macros:
+    </para>
+
+    <programlisting>
+#ifndef AF_ALG
+#define AF_ALG 38
+#endif
+#ifndef SOL_ALG
+#define SOL_ALG 279

+    </programlisting>
+
+    <para>
+     A cipher is accessed with the same name as done for the in-kernel
+     API calls. This includes the generic vs. unique naming schema for
+     ciphers as well as the enforcement of priorities for generic names.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+     To interact with the kernel crypto API, a socket must be
+     created by the user space application. User space invokes the cipher
+     operation with the send()/write() system call family. The result of the
+     cipher operation is obtained with the read()/recv() system call family.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+     The following API calls assume that the socket descriptor
+     is already opened by the user space application and discusses only
+     the kernel crypto API specific invocations.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+     To initialize the socket interface, the following sequence has to
+     be performed by the consumer:

+

+      <para>
+       Invoke accept with the socket descriptor. The accept system call
+       returns a new file descriptor that is to be used to interact with
+       the particular cipher instance. When invoking send/write or recv/read
+       system calls to send data to the kernel or obtain data from the
+       kernel, the file descriptor returned by accept must be used.

+    </orderedlist>
+   </sect1>
+
+   <sect1><title>In-place Cipher operation</title>
+    <para>
+     Just like the in-kernel operation of the kernel crypto API, the user
+     space interface allows the cipher operation in-place. That means that
+     the input buffer used for the send/write system call and the output
+     buffer used by the read/recv system call may be one and the same.
+     This is of particular interest for symmetric cipher operations where a
+     copying of the output data to its final destination can be avoided.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+     If a consumer on the other hand wants to maintain the plaintext and
+     the ciphertext in different memory locations, all a consumer needs
+     to do is to provide different memory pointers for the encryption and
+     decryption operation.
+    </para>
+   </sect1>
+
+   <sect1><title>Message Digest API</title>
+    <para>
+     The message digest type to be used for the cipher operation is
+     selected when invoking the bind syscall. bind requires the caller
+     to provide a filled struct sockaddr data structure. This data
+     structure must be filled as follows:
+    </para>
+
+    <programlisting>
+struct sockaddr_alg sa = {
+	.salg_family = AF_ALG,
+	.salg_type = "hash", /* this selects the hash logic in the kernel */
+	.salg_name = "sha1" /* this is the cipher name */
+};
+    </programlisting>
+
+    <para>
+     The salg_type value "hash" applies to message digests and keyed
+     message digests. Though, a keyed message digest is referenced by
+     the appropriate salg_name. Please see below for the setsockopt
+     interface that explains how the key can be set for a keyed message
+     digest.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+     Using the send() system call, the application provides the data that
+     should be processed with the message digest. The send system call
+     allows the following flags to be specified:
+    </para>
+
+    <itemizedlist>
+     <listitem>
+      <para>
+       MSG_MORE: If this flag is set, the send system call acts like a
+       message digest update function where the final hash is not
+       yet calculated. If the flag is not set, the send system call
+       calculates the final message digest immediately.
+      </para>
+     </listitem>
+    </itemizedlist>
+
+    <para>
+     With the recv() system call, the application can read the message
+     digest from the kernel crypto API. If the buffer is too small for the
+     message digest, the flag MSG_TRUNC is set by the kernel.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+     In order to set a message digest key, the calling application must use
+     the setsockopt() option of ALG_SET_KEY. If the key is not set the HMAC
+     operation is performed without the initial HMAC state change caused by
+     the key.
+    </para>
+   </sect1>
+
+   <sect1><title>Symmetric Cipher API</title>
+    <para>
+     The operation is very similar to the message digest discussion.
+     During initialization, the struct sockaddr data structure must be
+     filled as follows:

+struct sockaddr_alg sa = {
+	.salg_family = AF_ALG,
+	.salg_type = "skcipher", /* this selects the symmetric cipher */
+	.salg_name = "cbc(aes)" /* this is the cipher name */
+};
+    </programlisting>
+
+    <para>
+     Before data can be sent to the kernel using the write/send system
+     call family, the consumer must set the key. The key setting is
+     described with the setsockopt invocation below.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+     Using the sendmsg() system call, the application provides the data that should be processed for encryption or decryption. In addition, the IV is
+     specified with the data structure provided by the sendmsg() system call.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+     The sendmsg system call parameter of struct msghdr is embedded into the
+     struct cmsghdr data structure. See recv(2) and cmsg(3) for more
+     information on how the cmsghdr data structure is used together with the

+     With the recv() system call, the application can read the result of

+
+    <para>
+     In addition, before data can be sent to the kernel using the

+

+
+   <sect1><title>Random Number Generator API</title>
+    <para>
+     Again, the operation is very similar to the other APIs.
+     During initialization, the struct sockaddr data structure must be

+
+    <programlisting>
+struct sockaddr_alg sa = {

+};
+    </programlisting>
+
+    <para>
+     Depending on the RNG type, the RNG must be seeded. The seed is provided
+     using the setsockopt interface to set the key. For example, the

+     may be seeded.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+     Using the read()/recvmsg() system calls, random numbers can be obtained.
+     The kernel generates at most 128 bytes in one call. If user space
+     requires more data, multiple calls to read()/recvmsg() must be made.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+     WARNING: The user space caller may invoke the initially mentioned

+
+   </sect1>
+
+   <sect1><title>Zero-Copy Interface</title>
+    <para>
+     In addition to the send/write/read/recv system call familty, the AF_ALG
+     interface can be accessed with the zero-copy interface of splice/vmsplice.
+     As the name indicates, the kernel tries to avoid a copy operation into
+     kernel space.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+     The zero-copy operation requires data to be aligned at the page boundary.
+     Non-aligned data can be used as well, but may require more operations of
+     the kernel which would defeat the speed gains obtained from the zero-copy
+     interface.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+     The system-interent limit for the size of one zero-copy operation is
+     16 pages. If more data is to be sent to AF_ALG, user space must slice
+     the input into segments with a maximum size of 16 pages.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+     Zero-copy can be used with the following code example (a complete working

+   <sect1><title>Setsockopt Interface</title>
+    <para>
+     In addition to the read/recv and send/write system call handling
+     to send and retrieve data subject to the cipher operation, a consumer
+     also needs to set the additional information for the cipher operation.
+     This additional information is set using the setsockopt system call

-Some details of the in-kernel kernel crypto API aspects do not
-apply to user space, however. This includes the difference between synchronous
-and asynchronous invocations. The user space API call is fully synchronous.
-In addition, only a subset of all cipher types are available as documented
-below.
-
-
-User space API general remarks
-==============================
-
-The kernel crypto API is accessible from user space. Currently, the following
-ciphers are accessible:
-
-	* Message digest including keyed message digest (HMAC, CMAC)
-
-	* Symmetric ciphers
-
-Note, AEAD ciphers are currently not supported via the symmetric cipher
-interface.
-
-The interface is provided via Netlink using the type AF_ALG. In addition, the
-setsockopt option type is SOL_ALG. In case the user space header files do not
-export these flags yet, use the following macros:
-
-#ifndef AF_ALG
-#define AF_ALG 38
-#endif
-#ifndef SOL_ALG
-#define SOL_ALG 279
-#endif
-
-A cipher is accessed with the same name as done for the in-kernel API calls.
-This includes the generic vs. unique naming schema for ciphers as well as the
-enforcement of priorities for generic names.
-
-To interact with the kernel crypto API, a Netlink socket must be created by
-the user space application. User space invokes the cipher operation with the
-send/write system call family. The result of the cipher operation is obtained
-with the read/recv system call family.
-
-The following API calls assume that the Netlink socket descriptor is already
-opened by the user space application and discusses only the kernel crypto API
-specific invocations.
-
-To initialize a Netlink interface, the following sequence has to be performed
-by the consumer:
-
-	1. Create a socket of type AF_ALG with the struct sockaddr_alg parameter
-	   specified below for the different cipher types.
-
-	2. Invoke bind with the socket descriptor
-
-	3. Invoke accept with the socket descriptor. The accept system call
-	   returns a new file descriptor that is to be used to interact with
-	   the particular cipher instance. When invoking send/write or recv/read
-	   system calls to send data to the kernel or obtain data from the
-	   kernel, the file descriptor returned by accept must be used.
-
-In-place cipher operation
-=========================
-
-Just like the in-kernel operation of the kernel crypto API, the user space
-interface allows the cipher operation in-place. That means that the input buffer
-used for the send/write system call and the output buffer used by the read/recv
-system call may be one and the same. This is of particular interest for
-symmetric cipher operations where a copying of the output data to its final
-destination can be avoided.
-
-If a consumer on the other hand wants to maintain the plaintext and the
-ciphertext in different memory locations, all a consumer needs to do is to
-provide different memory pointers for the encryption and decryption operation.
-
-Message digest API
-==================
-
-The message digest type to be used for the cipher operation is selected when
-invoking the bind syscall. bind requires the caller to provide a filled
-struct sockaddr data structure. This data structure must be filled as follows:
-
-struct sockaddr_alg sa = {
-	.salg_family = AF_ALG,
-	.salg_type = "hash", /* this selects the hash logic in the kernel */
-	.salg_name = "sha1" /* this is the cipher name */
-};
-
-The salg_type value "hash" applies to message digests and keyed message digests.
-Though, a keyed message digest is referenced by the appropriate salg_name.
-Please see below for the setsockopt interface that explains how the key can be
-set for a keyed message digest.
-
-Using the send() system call, the application provides the data that should be
-processed with the message digest. The send system call allows the following
-flags to be specified:
-
-	* MSG_MORE: If this flag is set, the send system call acts like a
-		    message digest update function where the final hash is not
-		    yet calculated. If the flag is not set, the send system call
-		    calculates the final message digest immediately.
-
-With the recv() system call, the application can read the message digest from
-the kernel crypto API. If the buffer is too small for the message digest, the
-flag MSG_TRUNC is set by the kernel.
-
-In order to set a message digest key, the calling application must use the
-setsockopt() option of ALG_SET_KEY. If the key is not set the HMAC operation is
-performed without the initial HMAC state change caused by the key.
-
-
-Symmetric cipher API
-====================
-
-The operation is very similar to the message digest discussion. During
-initialization, the struct sockaddr data structure must be filled as follows:
-
-struct sockaddr_alg sa = {
-	.salg_family = AF_ALG,
-	.salg_type = "skcipher", /* this selects the symmetric cipher */
-	.salg_name = "cbc(aes)" /* this is the cipher name */
-};
-
-Before data can be sent to the kernel using the write/send system call family,
-the consumer must set the key. The key setting is described with the setsockopt
-invocation below.
-
-Using the sendmsg() system call, the application provides the data that should
-be processed for encryption or decryption. In addition, the IV is specified
-with the data structure provided by the sendmsg() system call.
-
-The sendmsg system call parameter of struct msghdr is embedded into the
-struct cmsghdr data structure. See recv(2) and cmsg(3) for more information
-on how the cmsghdr data structure is used together with the send/recv system
-call family. That cmsghdr data structure holds the following information
-specified with a separate header instances:
-
-	* specification of the cipher operation type with one of these flags:
-		ALG_OP_ENCRYPT - encryption of data
-		ALG_OP_DECRYPT - decryption of data
-
-	* specification of the IV information marked with the flag ALG_SET_IV
-
-The send system call family allows the following flag to be specified:
-
-	* MSG_MORE: If this flag is set, the send system call acts like a
-		    cipher update function where more input data is expected
-		    with a subsequent invocation of the send system call.
-
-Note: The kernel reports -EINVAL for any unexpected data. The caller must
-make sure that all data matches the constraints given in /proc/crypto for the
-selected cipher.
-
-With the recv() system call, the application can read the result of the
-cipher operation from the kernel crypto API. The output buffer must be at least
-as large as to hold all blocks of the encrypted or decrypted data. If the output
-data size is smaller, only as many blocks are returned that fit into that
-output buffer size.
-
-Setsockopt interface
-====================
-
-In addition to the read/recv and send/write system call handling to send and
-retrieve data subject to the cipher operation, a consumer also needs to set
-the additional information for the cipher operation. This additional information
-is set using the setsockopt system call that must be invoked with the file
-descriptor of the open cipher (i.e. the file descriptor returned by the
-accept system call).
-
-Each setsockopt invocation must use the level SOL_ALG.
-
-The setsockopt interface allows setting the following data using the mentioned
-optname:
-
-	* ALG_SET_KEY -- Setting the key. Key setting is applicable to:
-
-		- the skcipher cipher type (symmetric ciphers)
-
-		- the hash cipher type (keyed message digests)
-
-User space API example

-
-Please see [1] for libkcapi which provides an easy-to-use wrapper around the
-aforementioned Netlink kernel interface. [1] also contains a test application
-that invokes all libkcapi API calls.
