FMP doesn't use encrypt/decrypt of crypto API because it doesn't
expose cipher-text to DRAM.
But, Crypto API has many useful features such as cipher management,
cipher allocation with cipher name, key management and test manager.
All these features are useful for FMP.
FMP has been cerified with FIPS as below by using test vectors and
test manager of Crypto API.

ogram/documents/security-policies/140sp3255.pdf

Can't I use crypto APIs to take advantage of this?
I want to find a good way that FMP can use crypto API.

Thanks
