This inclusion was a result of several motivating factors: remove duplicated code, harmonize IPv6/IPSec, and the usual crypto-paranoia.  This talk will cover present the history of the Cryptographic API, its current state, what kernel facilities are currently using it, which ones should be using it, plus the new future applications including: Hadrware and assembly cryptography drivers, Hardware random number generation, and Filesystem encryption.
