[$] Progress in modernizing kernel cryptography

At the 2026 Linux Security Summit North America, Eric Biggers spoke aboutsome of the problems with the kernel's cryptography framework, as wellas the recent progress in adding library APIs to allow developers touse cryptographic functions without using the traditional cryptoAPI. He walked through a couple of examples to demonstrate thefrailty of the original API and showed how the new library API madelife easier for developers and kernel maintainers.
