MPC885 CryptoApi support.
Hi,
Is there any open source development done to integrate the MPC885 security coprocessor into the linux 2.6 kernel CryptoApi framework ? Did anyone wrote a driver for it yet ?
Best regards,
Guillaume.

Current kernel CryptoAPI is lacking sane support for hw crypto engines (e.g. there is no async crypto). Until there is such generic support, it's highly difficult to efficiently integrate hw crypto into the kernel. I did such stuff for Hifn 7955 accelerator and didn't like the result :).

Thanks Eugene,
Do you know if anybody is working on HW crypto engine support ?
Regards,
Guillaume.

There were some patches posted to lkml around a month or so ago. Don't know what happened to them.

These drivers are not GPL, then?
