Why do you need that? This is really CBC specific and might make no sense in other modes (that might be added in the future). If the code this flag is supposed to target is CBC-specific anyway, wouldn't it be easier to just use the last block? regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ Cryptodev-linux-devel mailing list Cryptodev-linux-devel@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/cryptodev-linux-devel
