    crypto: aegis128l/aegis256 - remove x86 and generic implementations · 520c1993
    Ard Biesheuvel authored
    Three variants of AEGIS were proposed for the CAESAR competition, and
    only one was selected for the final portfolio: AEGIS128.
    
    The other variants, AEGIS128L and AEGIS256, are not likely to ever turn
    up in networking protocols or other places where interoperability
    between Linux and other systems is a concern, nor are they likely to
    be subjected to further cryptanalysis. However, uninformed users may
    think that AEGIS128L (which is faster) is equally fit for use.
    
    So let's remove them now, before anyone starts using them and we are
    forced to support them forever.
    
    Note that there are no known flaws in the algorithms or in any of these
    implementations, but they have simply outlived their usefulness.
