Hi Stephen,

Thank you very much for the information provided.

I will try to explore more on AF_ALG , in between please can you also
provide information regarding below ?
#1: how openssl communicates to crypto h/w using PF_ALG
#2: How man algorithms are supported?
#3: are there any samples to get start with.

but if you can provide some info regarding cryptodev-linux from the
openssl prospect it will be more helpful.


BR,
Srisowj
