| af_alg implements an OpenSSL engine that uses the AF_ALG functionailty found in |
| kernel >= 2.6.38 for crypto offload. Be sure to actually check if it's faster, |
| as for many modern systems, userspace software implementations are actually |
| faster, as they avoid a kernel context switch. However, on embedded systems and |
| others with crypto hardware, AF_ALG may be faster. The homepage has more |
| details. |
