Re: Crypto Update for 2.6.38

Quoting Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

setsockopt(tfmfd, SOL_ALG, ALG_SET_KEY,
"\x06\xa9\x21\x40\x36\xb8\xa1\x5b"
"\x51\x2e\x03\xd5\x34\x12\x00\x06", 16);

By the way, is it a good idea to use setsockopt() this way? Some keys may be large. And if AEAD is supported, will it use setsockopt() for the unencrypted authenticated data?

Maybe some variation of write() or sendto() would be more appropriate?
