Documentation for Linux Kernel Crypto API

The Linux kernel exports a Netlink interface of type AF_ALG to allow user space to utilize the kernel crypto API. libkcapi uses this 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.
