...work is being done! ciphers are being fixed for non-ia32 platforms, packaging is being reworked... if you want to follow the development, check out the 'cryptoapi-new' cvs module...

in ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hvr/ you'll find
cryptoapi-2.4.10-pre4-xfs.diff.bz2/gz
which is taken against the SGI/XFS enhanced 2.4.10-pre4 kernel version;
and
cryptoapi-2.4.8.diff.bz2/gz

Work is being done on fixing some bugs and problems with the cryptoapi. Stay tuned for more...
