Hi David, Wondering if these "I/O" APIs use synchronous or async
crypto under the covers. For small data items like MICs, synchronous
might be a better choice, especially if asynchronous crypto could
result in incoming requests getting re-ordered and falling out of
the GSS sequence number window.

What say ye?
