    [CRYPTO] eseqiv: Add Encrypted Sequence Number IV Generator · 806d183a
    Herbert Xu authored
    This generator generates an IV based on a sequence number by xoring it
    with a salt and then encrypting it with the same key as used to encrypt
    the plain text.  This algorithm requires that the block size be equal
    to the IV size.  It is mainly useful for CBC.
    
    It has one noteworthy property that for IPsec the IV happens to lie
    just before the plain text so the IV generation simply increases the
    number of encrypted blocks by one.  Therefore the cost of this generator
    is entirely dependent on the speed of the underlying cipher.
