            Bug ID: 1533929
           Summary: Review Request: libkcapi - User space interface to the
                    Linux Kernel Crypto API
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
         Component: Package Review
          Severity: medium
          Priority: medium
          Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Description:

  libkcapi allows user-space to access the Linux kernel crypto API.

  This library uses the netlink interface and exports easy to use APIs
  so that a developer does not need to consider the low-level netlink
  interface handling.

  The library does not implement any cipher algorithms.  All consumer
  requests are sent to the kernel for processing.  Results from the
  kernel crypto API are returned to the consumer via the library API.

  The kernel interface and therefore this library can be used by
  unprivileged processes.


Issues:

  fedora-review shows no obvious issues.
