David Howells c08fed7371 KEYS: Implement encrypt, decrypt and sign for software asymmetric key [ver #2]
Implement the encrypt, decrypt and sign operations for the software
asymmetric key subtype.  This mostly involves offloading the call to the
crypto layer.

Note that the decrypt and sign operations require a private key to be
supplied.  Encrypt (and also verify) will work with either a public or a
private key.  A public key can be supplied with an X.509 certificate and a
private key can be supplied using a PKCS#8 blob:

	# j=`openssl pkcs8 -in ~/pkcs7/firmwarekey2.priv -topk8 -nocrypt -outform DER | keyctl padd asymmetric foo @s`
	# keyctl pkey_query $j - enc=pkcs1
	key_size=4096
	max_data_size=512
	max_sig_size=512
	max_enc_size=512
	max_dec_size=512
	encrypt=y
	decrypt=y
	sign=y
	verify=y
	# keyctl pkey_encrypt $j 0 data enc=pkcs1 >/tmp/enc
	# keyctl pkey_decrypt $j 0 /tmp/enc enc=pkcs1 >/tmp/dec
	# cmp data /tmp/dec
	# keyctl pkey_sign $j 0 data enc=pkcs1 hash=sha1 >/tmp/sig
	# keyctl pkey_verify $j 0 data /tmp/sig enc=pkcs1 hash=sha1
	#

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
