From 9b30430ea356f237945e52f8a3a42158877bd5a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers ebiggers@google.com Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2022 16:13:02 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] crypto: rsa-pkcs1pad - only allow with rsa
The pkcs1pad template can be instantiated with an arbitrary akcipher algorithm, which doesn't make sense; it is specifically an RSA padding scheme. Make it check that the underlying algorithm really is RSA.
