Someone else will know more about this. People are working on it I think but it's not there yet. > 2. OCF has been ported to Linux, so will OCF integrate with Linux Crypto API or not? OCF has a driver called cryptosoft that uses the linux crypto API. > If Linux Crypto API will support the user space and provide the user space APIs, then OpenBSD Cryptographics Framework > will directly use the Linux Crypto APIs or not? Otherwise Once linux has it's own user space API you will not need OCF to provide one, but you will need to add/wait for support for applications like openssl etc to use the linux API.
