Cruypto API access from user space

[Ian Macfarlane <iam@cambridgebroadband.com>]

Hi,

Does anyone know what the easiest way is to access the functionality 
provided my cryptoapi from a user space program. I want to send 
encrypted data between  two programs and the crypto API provides all the 
functionality I need.

The problem I'm having is how to link my program to the symbols provided 
by the API. Will I need to create my own library or is there a mechanism 
for do this already.

I note that the crypto-test programs create standalone objects to carry 
out the tests.

Thanks
