[PATCH net-next 0/4] Introduce The SipHash PRF

[Jason A. Donenfeld]

This patch series introduces SipHash into the kernel. SipHash is a
cryptographically secure PRF, which serves a variety of functions, and is
introduced in patch #1. The following patch #2 introduces HalfSipHash,
an optimization suitable for hash tables only. Finally, the last two patches
in this series show two usages of the introduced siphash function family.
It is expected that after this initial introductin, other usages will follow.

Please read the extensive descriptions in patch #1 and patch #2 of what these
functions do and the various levels of assurances. They're products of intense
cryptographic research, and I believe they're suitable for the uses outlined
herein.

The use of SipHash is not limited to the networking subsystem -- indeed I
would like to use it in other places too in the kernel. But after discussing
with a few on this list and at Linus' suggestion, the initial import of these
functions is coming through the networking tree. After these are merged, it
will then be easier to expand use elsewhere.

Jason A. Donenfeld (4):
  siphash: add cryptographically secure PRF
  siphash: implement HalfSipHash1-3 for hash tables
  secure_seq: use SipHash in place of MD5
  syncookies: use SipHash in place of SHA1
