+================================================================
+Intel(R) Intelligent Storage Acceleration Library Crypto Version
+================================================================
+
+ISA-L_crypto is a collection of optimized low-level functions targeting storage
+applications. ISA-L_crypto includes:
+
+* Multi-buffer hashes - run multiple hash jobs together on one core for much
+ better throughput than single-buffer versions.
+ - SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, MD5
+
+* Multi-hash - Get the performance of multi-buffer hashing with a single-buffer
+ interface.
+
+* Multi-hash + murmur - run both together.
+
+* AES - block ciphers
+ - XTS, GCM, CBC
+
+See [ISA-L_crypto for updates.](https://github.com/01org/isa-l_crypto)
+For non-crypto ISA-L see [isa-l on github.](https://github.com/01org/isa-l)
+
+Build Prerequisites
+===================
+
+ISA-L requires yasm version 1.2.0 or later or nasm v2.11.01 or later. Building
+with autotools requires autoconf/automake packages.
+
+Building ISA-L
+==============
+
+Autotools
+---------
+
+To build and install the library with autotools it is usually sufficient to run
+the following:
+
+ ./autogen.sh
+ ./configure
+ make
+ sudo make install
+
+Other targets include: make check, make tests, make perfs, make ex (examples)
+and make other.
+
+Windows
+-------
+
+On Windows use nmake to build dll and static lib:
+
+ nmake -f Makefile.nmake
+
+Other targets include: nmake check.
