Linux Kernel Crypto Guide

Question

I am working on a kernel module to encrypt/decrypt an input in kernel. I am thinking about using the AES algorithm implemented in crypto.(Any other suggestions for an efficient algorithms that can be found in Linux crypto?)

I've searched for guides over the Internet and read the linux/crypto documentation but I'm still having problems understanding even the basics of how to use it(The linux kernel documentation about Crypto isn't much of a help..).

Can you please show me a website/guide/examples/even a little book on how to start this?
