Thanks, this seems to work. (at least for random number generation).
However these applications don't seem to delegate the
loading of public and private keys to the driver for the hardware device.
(The applications seem to assume that keys are stored on the filesystem
of the host machine.)
So the driver has hooks which I suspect are to be used to load public and
private keys, however these hooks do not seem to be envoked by the openssl
applications.
Is there something special I must do to have the loading of keys delegated
to the
driver? Or must I hack the applications to unsure that these operations are
delegated to
the driver? If the later is the case what is the recommended way to do this?
Thanks for any help.
With regards from Maurice.
