Hi, Upstream doesn't like this approach of OpenBSD. There is some pushing of another similar userspace API at http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-cry...@vger.kernel.org/msg04748.html but unfortunately as of now, there is no userspace API for linux. The previous attempts to discuss it with linux-crypto people are at: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-cry...@vger.kernel.org/msg04316.html Michal's attempt in linux-kernel (2004): http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=109338510626422&w=2 regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ Cryptodev-linux-devel mailing list Cryptodev-linux-devel@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/cryptodev-linux-devel
