Some platforms, like nRF5x, provide a hardware-based AES block cipher. For an efficient crypto usage in my application I want to take advantage of this HW acceleration, but not have to implement all of the modes of operation myself. I'd expect the crypto support in Zephyr to be configurable to take advantage of HW-based block ciphers while at the same time still providing the same high-level cipher mode-based API.
