User space interface to the Linux Kernel Crypto API
Description
libkcapi allows user-space to access the Linux kernel crypto API.
This library uses the netlink interface and exports easy to use APIs
so that a developer does not need to consider the low-level netlink
interface handling.
The library does not implement any cipher algorithms. All consumer
requests are sent to the kernel for processing. Results from the
kernel crypto API are returned to the consumer via the library API.
The kernel interface and therefore this library can be used by
unprivileged processes.
