Crypto Accelerator Interface

DESCRIPTION

SILC Crypto Accelerator Interface provides a generic interface for cryptographic accelerators. The interface can access different kind of accelerators, such as hardware accelerators. Using an accelerator can significantly improve encryption, decryption, signature and verification performance.

Third-party accelerators can be registered into the accelerator interface and used through the same generic interface.

The interface can be used to accelerate public and private keys, and ciphers.
