Re: Cryptographic Hardware Accelerators for OpenSSL
I'm assuming it's also possible to statically link/bind (at build time) engine drivers. Is this the case? R.

Cryptographic Hardware Accelerators for OpenSSL
Is it possible to add a new Hardware Accelerator beside those that are already supported as an Engine object in the OpenSSL implementation? My intent is trying to add as a new Engine some crypto modules from a Coldfire device..., but after reading some information and some links, it seem that it is not possible... is this correct? regards Lech Olmedo
