Subject[PATCH v3 1/7] crypto: AF_ALG: add user space interface for AEAD
Date
AEAD requires the following data in addition to normal symmetric
ciphers:

* Associated authentication data of arbitrary length and
length

* Authentication tag for decryption and length

* Length of authentication tag for encryption

The memory structure for the data received by the kernel via sendmsg
must follow this structure:

* Symmetric encryption input: plaintext
* Symmetric encryption output: ciphertext
* AEAD encryption input: assoc data || plaintext
* AEAD encryption output: cipherntext || auth tag
* Symmetric decryption input: ciphertext
* Symmetric decryption output: plaintext
* AEAD decryption input: assoc data || ciphertext || authtag
* AEAD decryption output: plaintext

Therefore, in addition to submitting the data, AEAD requires that
the associated data length and the tag length must be communicated.
The plaintext/ciphertext length can be derived from the other two size
fields. Therefore, This patch adds setting the associated data length
and tag length as part of the sendmsg communication.
