Intended to push + * optional key used by the hashing algorithm from upper layers into + * the driver. This function can store the key in the transformation + * context or can outright program it into the hardware. In the former + * case, one must be careful to program the key into the hardware at + * appropriate time and one must be careful that .setkey() can be + * called multiple times during the existence of the transformation + * object.
