Haren,

  thanks for your answer, but perhaps we need a bit more to go on?

 From what I could understand, Léo is really looking for the specification for NX crypto? Sometimes the use-case he has has better performance characteristics using those.. I don't think anyone is requesting Official IBM support here..
