Hi,

When I try the following command

$ openssl speed aes -engine crytodev
invalid engine "cryptodev"
3078063752:error:25066067:DSO support routines:DLFCN_LOAD:could not load the shared library:dso_dlfcn.c:187:filename(/lib/engines/libcryptodev.so): /lib/engines/libcryptodev.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If I look in the source, I can see eng_cryptodev.c file under crypto/engine folder. Why is this not working?

I am using the following git - git://git.openssl.org/openssl.git

$ openssl engine
(dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support

Regards

Did you build OpenSSL libs by enabling the appropriate flags - HAVE_CRYPTODEV etc ?

In files crypto/engine/eng_all.c , "ENGINE_load_cryptodev" will be under few defines. Make sure your platform have those defines.

Hi Gnananasekar,

Thank you for your clarification. I have figured that out by now :D

Now the build process complains that it cannot find crypto/cryptodev.h . Any ideas?

If you are building openssl with cryptodev on a non BSD system (like linux),
then you will need to have some form of OCF port. For linux you can get
this by building and installing ocf-linux. That will get you the headers,

Hi all,

I was able to get cryptodev engine working on openssl following the instructions available at this link. Hope this helps someone.
