<OT>
The OS/Kernel usually *does* provide functions to do those things.
But all they've usually implemented is the identity cypher.

<OTThe Linux kernel does provide crypto, if so configured, but
a look at Documentation/crypto/* suggests that the API is kernel-side
only. Sounds like the OP will have to write his first kernel module
