Description

User-space access to the Linux Kernel Crypto API helps applications use cryptographic algorithms exposed by the kernel. It is useful for software that needs kernel-backed hashing, encryption, or random-related operations.

This is a low-level security library, not an encryption app. Correct use depends on algorithm selection, key handling, and protocol design in the calling application.
