Hi Herbert

I found a mailing thread discussing "combined mode algorithms", I think
that this is the main missing link for good async support.

Are you planning that this combined alg mode will support the async API?
Is there any progress on this direction?

Is there any Documentation available? (I guess not)

No for all above.

What is the todo list for further development of the async crypto
support?

New drivers and extending functionality if required. Some work is

being

done in this area, although not that fast.
