> The engine is the hardware or software implementation used for performing
> cryptographic operations.
>
> Assume we have a hardware device with a super fast implementation of AES. Now
> when we use AES encryption we can set the engine to that hardware device
> (instead of {{{}NULL{}}}), which means that the operations are now computed
> by the hardware device instead of the default OpenSSL software layer.
