This is an old idea, first think with the OSIS project, then this was the same idea that would implement the Milan team. near ten years ago I have think the same and talk about this on fcsa without interesting anybody. Since apear Aranym that is a very good step to this project and fvdi. I have write MyAES for this project, that's why this part have very few dependency from Mint kernel. Actually only problem stay to this sort of project come from VDI layer for two reasons: - fVDI have a lot of assembly code in it - VDI in general is fully independent from AES, that is not modern at all and is a problem for a more powerfull and modern AES. At this time I have start write VDI functions, but it's far from replace any VDI and problems of health have broken development. Regards Olivier > > Best Regards > > Standa > > > >
