    Hello,

    We are not adding user-space interface.
    We just need to algo definitions which are in sync between user space,
    IMA/EVM and kernel module signing.
    Module signing perl script uses hard coded values. We want to improve
    it export them to user space.

    But please give us a hint, what crypto user-space API helps for us?

    Thanks!

    Dmitry
