Hello!
I'm currently using the cryptodev framework-engine with openssl-1.0.1e.
By run the command
# openssl engine -t
(cryptodev) cryptodev engine
[ available ]
(dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support
[ unavailable ]
we can see that the cryptodev is the active-chosen engine.
So it seems that all the cryptographic load is directed automatically
to /dev/crypto via the cryptodev engine.
My question is, how i can use the CPU instead of cryptodev, or with
other words how i can disable the cryptodev from application level?
Is there an engine id-name in order to change the activated cryptodev
engine and send the execution to the Software-CPU?
AFAIK the cryptodev engine won't be used unless you actually specify it
on the command line, e.g.
openssl speed -engine cryptodev -evp ....
etc.
HTH,
