Crypto API (Linux)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Microsoft Windows Cryptography API, see Cryptographic Application Programming Interface.
Crypto API is a cryptography framework in the Linux kernel, for various parts of the kernel that deal with cryptography, such as IPsec and dm-crypt. It was introduced in kernel version 2.4.12 and has since expanded to include essentially all popular block ciphers and hash functions.
