Module NSA encryption spek inclus =c3=a0 partir du Kernel 4=2e17 =3a C'est quoi =3f Il sert =c3=a0 quoi =3f

Hello, au hasard de mes recherches, j'apprends l'existence d'un module
NSA qui serait intégré depuis le kernel 4.17, et je m'interroge sur son
rôle :
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/08/linux-4-18-kernel-release-features
Un gars demande en com "Was NSA code removed from Linux kernel in this
new version?"
Et rajoute dans la conversation :
"I know Linux is open source, I've been using it as my main O.S. (the
only one installed in my computer) since 2006 and I know I can put the
NSA module in a blacklist and that's all, but what paid my attention
here is the way It was included in the kernel. My understanding is that
Google did some pressure to include it, even considering that Speck
algorithm was rejected by ISO, so my little worry here is more political
than technical."

En cherchant dans google, je vois que certains veulent le retirer :
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1067399/remove-nsa-encryption-speck
"The file speck.ko can be found in
/lib/modules/4.18.1-041801-generic/kernel/crypto and it was built by the
NSA (added since Linux Kernel 4.17). I really want to remove this thing
from my computer. "

Donc ma question : il me sert à quoi ce module NSA encryption spek ?
