Subject: [dpdk-dev] OpenSSL libcrypto PMD name
Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2016 13:36:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2254713.m5JxJRtkTJ@xps13> (raw)
Hi,
I would like to raise a naming issue in crypto.
In the crypto side of DPDK, we have a library (similar to ethdev)
for crypto API and device interface:
http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tree/lib/librte_cryptodev
There are also some drivers (which are some libraries):
http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tree/drivers/crypto
Most of them (6/8) are some DPDK wrappers for external libraries.
Recently was introduced the libcrypto PMD which is a wrapper for
the OpenSSL libcrypto.
As we already have a lot of crypto libraries, I'm afraid the name
libcrypto is really confusing. Why not call it openssl PMD?
PS: I know OpenSSL has 2 libraries - ssl and crypto - but I do not
expect any high-level SSL feature in a crypto driver.
So drivers/crypto/openssl should not be confusing.
