  Description     : Intel® QuickAssist Technology OpenSSL* Engine

The QAT_Engine offers two separate internal entities by which acceleration
can be performed. It supports the ability to accelerate from the stand
OpenSSL* to basic Intel instruction set, to either Hardware acceleration
path (via the qat_hw path) or via the optimized SW path (qat_sw lib).

This package is part of the Intel QAT family of user space libraries
and compliments the QAT related qatlib and ipp-crypto packages.

I intend to maintain this much like other Intel related Debian packages
that I maintain, such as tracking recent releases, checking the code
for any security issues and programming issues using static analysis
tools and contributing to the upstream project with any fixes I make
as I support this package.

Sincerely,

Colin Ian King
