I've been asked to integrate another hardware accelerator ... this one
does symmetric ciphers, too ... one of its features is that it works
better if given more than one block at a time. The obvious way to handle
this is to modify the EVP_CIPHER to include a blocking factor (or chunk
size or whatever you prefer) and add a "number of blocks" parameter to
the encrypt() member - is there any reason not to do this?

Cheers,

Ben.
