The current pcrypt version is used just for IPsec because it supports only AEAD type algorithms and does not support request backlog. But I have patches to support ablkcipher algorithms and request backlog. I could provide them if there is interest in it.
I don't know the crypto layer well enough, and I certainly don't know how to deal with things like ARM CPU's with "big-little" architectures to understand what we might need to do to power optimize things for mobile handsets. But if someone has time to look at this, that would be great. - Ted
