4 Subject: e_devcrypto: default to not use digests in engine
5
6 Digests are almost always slower when using /dev/crypto because of the
7 cost of the context switches. Only for large blocks it is worth it.
8
9 Also, when forking, the open context structures are duplicated, but the
10 internal kernel sessions are still shared between forks, which means an
11 update/close operation in one fork affects all processes using that
12 session.
13
14 This affects digests, especially for HMAC, where the session with the
15 key hash is used as a source for subsequent operations. At least one
16 popular application does this across a fork. Disabling digests by
17 default will mitigate the problem, while still allowing the user to
18 turn them on if it is safe and fast enough.
