Originally I was going to convert IPsec to use ablkcipher
which we can do right now.

This is certainly going to delay things a bit.  However,
it's certainly pretty close to the top of my todo list
right now.

Can you estimate/guesstimate when the IPsec over async crypto will be
available?
I tried to test the dm-crypt user but the patches don't apply on top of
current git.

Yes that's the main focus right now.

I'm working on the infrastructure bits, i.e., setting up a
new operation type currently called authenc which sits at
the same level as ablkcipher or hash.  Joy Latten is looking
at CTR, as well as converting IPsec over once the crypto
infrastructure is done.

Hi Herbert

I found a mailing thread discussing "combined mode algorithms", I think
that this is the main missing link for good async support.

Are you planning that this combined alg mode will support the async API?
Is there any progress on this direction?

Wow, I thought that there was more progress ...

BTW:
I know that the OCF support the OpenSWAN, does it also support the KLIPS
by now?
I also noticed that the Acrypto have a patch to support KLIPS, does it
also support the OpenSWAN?

No for all above.

New drivers and extending functionality if required. Some work is being
done in this area, although not that fast.
