Hi, Stephan, Herbert,

The patch 8 describes the different operations that are supported by AF_ALG
KPP. This support includes generation and retaining of the private key

There are crypto co-processors that are capable of generating and
retaining the private key inside the device without revealing it to
kernel. The private key will be further used to generate the public
key and the shared secret. Should we extend the KPP API to support this?

Thanks,
