 Hi *,

We are trying to use dpdk in our security product. But the packet flow
in it requires synchronous encryption and decryption.

Is this possible with DPDK and its software crypto library?

Regards,
Dev

I think this question suits more in users@dpdk.org mailing list, so I CC'd it.

The cryptodev library in DPDK supports asynchronous crypto operations (encryption/decryption and ciphering).
You would need to add another layer in your application to make it synchronous.

Thanks,
Pablo
