Series [Openvpn-devel,1/8,OSSL,3.0] Use new EVP_MAC API for HMAC implementation | expand

Commit Message

Arne Schwabe Sept. 19, 2021, 6:29 a.m. UTC 
This code mainly sets the parity bits in the DES keys. As mbed TLS and
OpenSSL already ignore these bits in the DES key and since DES is
deprecated, remove this special DES code that is not even needed by
the libraries.
