  - QNX Cryptography Library
    The QNX cryptography library (qcrypto library) is a generic cryptographic shim layer that provides a consistent API to the various cryptographic primitives offered by third-party libraries.
  - The devcrypto service
    The devcrypto service is a legacy system driver interface and is mainly provided for backwards compatibility.
    - The devcrypto plugin API (devcrypto_plugin.h)
      The devcrypto plugin API allows you to create a software backend to the devcrypto service, which provides access to cryptographic accelerators.
    - Example devcrypto plugin: openssl_digest.c
      This example illustrates how to implement a devcrypto plugin.
