A doc laying out the rationale for the choice of primitives in virtio-crypto [1] would be very nice. The choice is weird. Also, I couldn't find links to actual specs of the named supported primitives, seems we should understand what they mean by name alone.

If I had to guess, they are related and probably based on what actual hardware provides and that is known to be used in some key applications (e.g. 4G/LTE infrastructure). https://doc.dpdk.org/guides-18.11/cryptodevs/overview.html https://doc.dpdk.org/guides-18.11/cryptodevs/overview.html
