You mean that there is NO RSA support in the /dev/crypto? If I get it right this means that there is virtually NO card (even with the fastest RSA) that I could use? Or at least not to accelerate the RSA computations because the kernel does not support the interface to the card for RSA? I am primarily interested in accelerating the SSL handshake and since I am using RSA key exchange (with 2048 bit keys) this means that I better forget about those cards at all? It is interesting that on the rainbow.com's site they say: (http://www.rainbow.com/products/cryptoswift/index.asp) Rainbow Technologies' Cryptoswift SSL Acceleration product line is unparalleled in its support of major operating systems and web servers such as: -Win2k -WinNT -Sun/Solaris -Linux -HP/UX -FreeBSD -BSDi -AIX -Microsoft IIS -Apache -iPlanet -Netscape -C2Net Stronghold -IBM What kind of support do they mean? Just symmetric chipers or what? Thank you for your reply Rumen Telbizov
