Bulk Crypto - Asynchronous response

["Addepalli, Srinivasa R" <srinivasa.r.addepalli@intel.com>]

Hi,

 

Today, all PKCS11 operations are synchronous. 

For better performance, it is normally preferred to  have asynchronous response, especially for bulk crypto.

Applications submit the bulk crypto job to PKCS11 provider.  PKCS11 provider, at later time notifies the application (via notification callback) with the response. In the meantime, application can do other tasks.  Is there any thought/interest on/in making some of PKCS11 operations asynchronous? 

 

Thanks
