Hi,


For one simple operation: openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -salt -in foo.txt -out foo.enc
Does openssl pick classic implementation or AES-NI implementation to do this encrypt?

Does any user/application always pick classic implementation for AES operation regardless of AES-NI improves speed much?

Is there any document about this interface selection?

Thanks,
Jinsong
