Hi! I am working on a piece of kernel software, that needs to use publc key cryptography, especially RSA. As far as i know, no RSA related in-kernel functionality is currently implemented. Writing a new implementation of key management, and the algorithm itself, and making it stable and efficent is rather long and slippery road, so i started to look shy on openssl. Porting just RSA and key-related stuff is again, a tiresome work. I am rather lazy, and i thought, that maybe I could force linker to to the job for me, i.e. link kernel against openssl library to get just some function that i am interested in. My question is: how to achieve this ? Second: Any better idea ? Is it totally stupid idea ? regards,
