Hello.
I'm pleased to announce new release of asynchronous crypto layer ACRYPTO
[1]. Acrypto allows to handle crypto requests asynchronously in
hardware.
This release has following major features:
* OCF [2] to acrypto bridge. Work by Yakov Lerner <[email protected]>
This module allows to use ixp4xx driver with acrypto IPsec and
dm-crypt.
* major name refactoring
* crypto context abstractions (allows to notify hardware when keys
and/or some other crypto parameters are changed)
* bugfixes and small feature extensions
With this release I decide to drop support for old tarball acrypto
releases. All new features and bugfixes will go directly into combined
patchsets against supported trees (currently 2.6.16 and 2.6.17, 2.6.15
is unsupported anymore). Releases with major changes will be announced
in linux-kernel@ and linux-crypto@ mail lists.
Combined patchsets include:
* acrypto core
* IPsec ESP4 port to acrypto
* dm-crypt port to acrypto
* OCF to acrypto bridge
Acrypto supports following crypto providers:
* SW crypto provider
* HIFN 795x adapters
* VIA nehemiah CPU
* SuperCrypt CE99C003B
* devices supported by OCF (only IXP4xx was tested)
