Yes, you need to build a shareable image that implements a OpenSSL
engine to interface with the device.  That sort of engine translates
OpenSSL crypto and hash algorithm calls to whatever the device needs
to perform its job properly.

Unfortunately, the best documentation is the source.  Look in
crypto/engine/, engines/ and demos/engines/rsaref/ .  The last one was
written specifically to show how it's done (or at least how it can be
done :-)).

Cheers,
Richard
