Hi Matt, Very useful information.
I too agree with you that we need not have a new engine distribution. I see some options like dynamic engines and static engine support. If we have built a library with dynamic engine interface, how can we do speed test using openssl speed command.

Can you please help. Its not clear to me whether your asking "how do I create my own engine for my own purposes?" or "how do I create an engine that I want to get incorporated into the OpenSSL source and be distributed as part of OpenSSL?". The answers to these two questions are slightly different. For the former question I suggest you start with these two links: https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2015/10/07/engine-school/ https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2015/10/08/engine-building-lesson-1-a-minimum-useless-engine/ There's also some content on the wiki on this topic: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Creating_an_OpenSSL_Engine_to_use_indigenous_ECDH_ECDSA_and_HASH_Algorithms For the latter question the technical procedure is essentially the same as above. However I am personally not keen on the introduction of new engines that do not have a broad applicability to large groups of users. That would typically rule out the introduction of manufacturer specific engines requiring the presence of additional hardware.
