> This patchset implements the TCP-AO option as described in RFC5925. There

> (see the summary of TCP-AO advantages over TCP-MD5 in (1.3) of RFC5925).

> crypto users. These six patches are being submitted separately in
> a different patchset [1]. Including them here will show better the gain
> in code sharing. Next are 18 patches that implement the actual TCP-AO option,
> followed by patches implementing selftests.

> of the peer are copied to the newly created socket. On the active side,

> from the socket since they will never match the peer. This implementation

> All three setsockopt()s have extensive sanity checks that prevent
> inconsistencies in the keys on a given socket. A getsockopt() is provided
> to get key information from any given socket.
>
> Few things to note about this implementation:
> - Traffic keys are cached for established connections avoiding the cost of
> such calculation for each packet received or sent.
> - Great care has been taken to avoid deleting in-use MKTs
> as required by the RFC.
> - Any crypto algorithm supported by the Linux kernel can be used
> to calculate packet hashes.
> - Fastopen works with TCP-AO but hasn’t been tested extensively.
> - Tested for interop with other major networking vendors (on linux-4.19),
> including testing for key rotation and long lived connections.
