DESCRIPTION
The crypto driver provides a device-independent framework to support cryptographic operations in the kernel. The cryptodev driver provides userland applications access to this support through the /dev/crypto device. This node primarily operates in an ioctl(2) based model, permitting a variety of applications to query device capabilities, submit transactions, and get results. If count given in the specification, and is greater than 0, a maximum of one crypto device is created.
The following ioctl(2) calls apply only to the crypto devices:
