Description-en: Documentation for Linux Kernel Crypto API
The Linux kernel exports a Netlink interface of type AF_ALG to allow user
space to utilize the kernel crypto API. libkcapi uses this Netlink interface
and exports easy to use APIs so that a developer does not need to consider the
low-level Netlink interface handling.
.
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 is the documentation for libkcapi
