Summary

These algorithms are deprecated algorithms that will have no in-kernel
consumers in FreeBSD 13. Specifically, deprecate the following algorithms:

  • ARC4
  • Blowfish
  • CAST128
  • DES
  • 3DES
  • MD5-HMAC
  • Skipjack
Test Plan
  • cryptocheck doesn't test any of these, but the python tests do run 3DES test vectors and thus do trigger the warning (and also inspired adding rate limiting since a single run of cryptotest.py generated multiple warnings without rate limiting)
