Hi
I'm working on a device which include HW acceleration for few Encryption
Alg (AES, DES and 3DES) and few digest Alg (SHA1 and MD5).
My plan is to add support for this HW acceleration in a way that both
the IPSec and the dm-crypt will be able to use it,
In order to do so in efficient way I must use the HW engines in
asynchronous way.
I did some research and went over the entire mailing list and found,
that there are 2 main frameworks for Asynchronous crypto support,
both seems stable and both support few HW accelerators:
Acrypto: http://tservice.net.ru/~s0mbre/archive/acrypto/
http://lwn.net/Articles/109475/
with patch for using Acrypto through the IPsec,
but won't have any further development?
http://lwn.net/Articles/146802/
Linux-OCF: http://ocf-linux.sourceforge.net/
no specific patch for using kernel IPSec,
under constant development.
I also noticed another mail, asking the same question, but he didn't get
any firm answer:
http://lists.logix.cz/pipermail/cryptoapi/2005/000470.html
Any suggestion which framework should be used?
Any idea which framework is going to be integrated to the kernel
mainline?
Any suggestion which framework is easier for use? or more stable?
Any patch for using the dm-crypt with any of the above framework?
Any help will be appreciated.
