Comment 0 for bug 2048895

Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology (Intel(R) QAT) provides hardware acceleration for offloading security, authentication and compression services from the CPU, thus significantly increasing the performance and efficiency of standard platform solutions.

Its services include symmetric encryption and authentication, asymmetric encryption, digital signatures, RSA, DH and ECC, and lossless data compression.

This package provides user space libraries that allow access to Intel(R) QuickAssist devices and expose the Intel(R) QuickAssist APIs and sample codes.
