Hi,
I'm currently developing a driver for a hardware crypto offload engine that is
capable of offloading both ESP and AH in IPSec. I've noticed that none of the
crypto drivers in 2.6.28 do offload for ahash and that the netkey AH
implementation both use synchronous hashes. Are the synchronous software
versions likely to be more efficient than hardware offloading or is there an
architectural reason for not using async hashes?
Cheers,
Jamie
