Hi, >Could you please tell us why we need this at all? For instance, what hardware devices will be supported and who will be the users? [Shasi Pulijala] The Public Key Acceleration Engine is an integral HW Offload module for many of our AMCC 4xx SOC's. And hence providing a PKA user interface through the linux Crypto API would give us a good option to validate and test our HW. >No, multiplexed interfaces are bad in general. Please provide separate interfaces for each operation. [Shasi Pulijala] Would you be suggesting like a transform per operation(per add, sub etc) or a single transform for all the operations and multiple request interfaces for each of them. >You should also post a software implementation so that >1) You illustrate what this is all about. >2) We have a yardstick for the hardware devices. [Shasi Pulijala] We do not have enough resources at this time to provide the Software Implementation, but sure can come up with something at a later time. -Shasi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
