[strongSwan-dev] need for openssl plugin use case

[Ravi Kanth Vanapalli]

Hi,
I have one query regarding the use of openssl plugin.

I want to write an android plugin which makes use of strongswan openssl
plugin more specifically I was looking to use
'openssl_rsa_private_key_load' in openssl.

From the link below
https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Pluginlist

openssl s Crypto backend based on OpenSSL, provides
RSA/ECDSA/DH/ECDH/ciphers/hashers/HMAC/X.509/CRL/RNG


But in the strongswan-master code repo, i see no reference to open-ssl
plugin .

eg. openssl_crypter_create function in openssl_crypter.c

I am expecting this crypter to be created in someother module which needs
to encrypt.
I see no references to any code calling openssl_crypter_create.

Kindly provide me code references how to use API's provided by openssl
plugin.
Any sample example would be highly appreciated.

That's the whole point of our plugin system. All this is hidden from
the users in other components, they just create a crypter of a specific
type and key size via lib->crypto->create_crypter(). They don't care
what plugin provides it or how it is implemented. You'll find lots of
examples if you search for create_crypter() calls.
