As far as I know, "no, it is not". Even if it were, depending on it to be present would probably be a bad idea as there are systems in the wild that ship older versions of OpenSSL. Rogaway's page has a link to Krovetz's implementation that can use OpenSSL for certain internals, it would probably be easiest to look at that, and use it if suitable. Out of curiosity, from what I have seen of the code, there's already code that uses GCM, I'm sort of curious as to why you believe OCB would be better. Regards, -- Yawning Angel
