I would like to know why prompted looking for a custom algorithm? My company produces a dual gigabit NIC card with a multi-threaded processor on the NIC card. The card allows developers to write a driver and download what ever code you desire to the NIC card to offload the processing from the main CPU. I like to get peoples interest if they like a opportunity to test-drive this card once its available. Peut, I think our card will do what you want it to do and more, but you need someone to write/port software for it.

I know F-BSD 4.8 supports a framework in the kernel to use crypto functions from hifn crypto cards. Is there any of these cards that support custom crypto? What is the best route to go if I want to support IPSec (and maybe other) crypto functions but with custom crypto algorithms? Any info or ideas will be appreciated.
