The OpenBSD Cryptographic Framework (OCF_ is an open Application Programming Interface (API) specification for the uniform management of cryptographic hardware by an operating system. It is part of the OpenBSD Project, having been included in the operating system since OpenBSD 2.8 (December, 2000). Like other OpenBSD projects such as OpenSSH and OpenSSL, it has been ported to other systens based on Berkeley Unix such as FreeBSD and NetBSD, and to Solaris and Linux.[1]
