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
