Bug Description
Hi
testing hardware encryption acceleration for an ongoing project I found out that the shipped openssl version is shipped without Intel AES-NI engine support.
openssl engine
(rsax) RSAX engine support
(dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support
whereas an Intel AES-NI enabled openssl will show an additional
(aesni) Intel AES-NI engine
However as the shipped kernel offer hardware support via aesni_intel it will be really great if Intel AES-NI engine support can be enabled in openssl too.
1. )System: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
2.) openssl: Installed: 1.0.1-4ubuntu5
3.) Please enable support for Intel AES-NI engine in openssl
