Executing accelerated cryptographic operations in an emulated environment

One or more computer storage media storing executable instructions embodied thereon, that, as a result of being executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining, from an application, a request to perform a cryptographic operation, the application executed within a first computing environment including an emulated processor;
• in response to the request, generating a packet including an indication of the cryptographic operation, a pointer to data used during execution of the cryptographic operation, and a status associated with the cryptographic operation;
• providing the packet through the emulated processor to a host operating system within a second computing environment, the host operating system supporting the first computing environment by at least providing the emulated processor;
• causing a processor of the second computing environment to perform the cryptographic operation based on the packet;
• obtaining, from the host operating system, the packet including information indicating the status associated with the cryptographic operation;
• and
• providing the information indicating the status of the cryptographic operation to the application.

A system comprising:

• a memory component;
• and
• a processing device coupled to the memory component, the processing device to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining a request to perform a cryptographic operation in a first computing environment executing on an emulated processor, the request generated by an application;
• generating a packet including an indication of the cryptographic operation, a pointer to data used during execution of the cryptographic operation including a memory address and an offset within the first computing environment, a length of the packet, and a status associated with the cryptographic operation;
• providing the packet through the emulated processor to a host operating system within a second computing environment, the host operating system providing the emulated processor;
• in response to obtaining the packet, causing the second computing environment to perform the cryptographic operation using the data indicated by the pointer and based on a set of instructions translated from the indication of the cryptographic operation;
• obtaining the packet including a second status associated with the cryptographic operation;
• and
• resuming execution of the application.
