kcapi-hasher - Kernel Crypto API Message Digest Check Helper
Contents
Description
The kcapi-hasher application provides tool to compute and check the message digest as well as keyed
message digest ciphers of the Linux kernel crypto API from the command line.
The command line arguments, inputs and outputs closely mimick those of other similar utilities. I.e.
sha1sum(1) sha512sum(1), and etc.
This is a multi-call binary, and algorithm can be selected by symlinking this application under the
desired name. Separately application name can be overriden directly with with name option, or desired
hash can be selected with the hash option.
The input data can be provided either via STDIN or via a file that is referenced with a command line
option.
