Source package : libkcapi-1.4.0-2.7.src

Summary : Linux Kernel Crypto API User Space Interface Library
Description :
libkcapi exports APIs so that developers need not consider the low-level
Netlink interface handling that is used for accesing the Linux kernel crypto
API.
The library does not implement any cipher algorithms. All consumer requests are
sent to the kernel for processing. Results from the kernel crypto API are
returned to the consumer via the library API.
The kernel interface and therefore this library can be used by unprivileged
processes.
This library does not perform any memcpy for processing the cryptographic data!
The library uses scatter / gather lists to eliminate the need for moving data
around in memory.
