[openssl-dev] Using keys from a hardware accelerator

[Erwann Abalea]

You’re looking for ENGINE objects.
There’s maybe already an ENGINE directly supporting your hardware module.
If your hardware thing has a PKCS#11 library, a PKCS#11 ENGINE exists.

The standard OpenSSL approach is to use keys from files. Is there any preferred way to point to keys in the hardware? There is more and more hardware on the market that people want to use directly from the OpenSSL.
