> The virtio crypto device is a virtual cryptography device as well as a kind of
> virtual hardware accelerator for virtual machines. The encryption and
> decryption requests are placed in the data queue and are ultimately handled by the
> backend crypto accelerators. The second queue is the control queue used to create 
> or destroy sessions for symmetric algorithms and will control some advanced
> features in the future. The virtio crypto device provides the following crypto
> services: CIPHER, MAC, HASH, AEAD etc.
