Hi,
It looks like we have at least two duplicate RMD160 implementations:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/include/rmd160.h
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/crypto/ripemd160/rmd160.h
The first one, used in userland, is by Antoon Bosselaers. The second
one, used in the kernel and imported from OpenBSD, is by Markus Friedl.
Is there a reason behind it? If not (which I'm sure there isn't; OpenBSD
is using the same one in both places) is it okay if I use our kernel
RMD160 implementation in userland as well?
-e.
