Hi all

sorry to borther you.

I saw the linux crypto code,and found there is no asynchronous crypto implemented by software, only the hardware such as talitos implements async crypto.

I am right,or I miss someting？

thanks all.

As far as I can see, I agree. The generic implementations all seem to be synchronous.

Truly,

We do have pcrypt which is a wrapper that turns any sync implementation into an async one by spreading requests across CPUs.

Cheers,
