Hi Stephen, It was a great information with respective PF_ALG , I have explored a bit on openssl and algorithms prospect , Please let me know if anything to add to it.
openssl crypto engine: below are the steps to enable openssl to communicate using pf/af_alg. #1:git clone http://src.carnivore.it/users/common/af_alg/ #2:cd af_alg/ #3:make #4:sudo cp libaf_alg.so /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/openssl-1.0.0/engines/ #5:sudo chmod 644 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/openssl-1.0.0/engines/libaf_alg.so Algorithms supported by pf/af_alg from user space to test: CIPHERS=aes-128-cbc aes-192-cbc aes-256-cbc des-cbc des-ede3-cbc DIGESTS=md4 md5 sha1 sha224 sha256 sha512 Next step is ,I would like to see the support available to write and test more and more samples/test utilities between PF/AF_ALG and cryptodev .
