This presentation document from meetBSD 2008: http://www.paeps.cx/pubs/crypto_acceleration/slides.pdf lists these supported devices: glxsb(4) AMD Geode hifn(4) Hifn padlock(4) VIA Padlock safe(4) SafeNet ubsec(4) Broadcom/Bluesteel However, I can only find "safe" as a isted device in generic kernel configuration files. The other devices are not anywhere in kernel config files. I am able to find hifn.ko and /sys/modules/padlock and ubsec.ko in the source tree, however. glxsb, however, is nowhere to be found. My goal is to accelerate the Tor onion router using hardware on FreeBSD. Since safe(4) is a standard kernel config option, that seemed a likely starting place, however a cursory search shows that this is not really a working device and certainly not a trouble-free item to implement. Are any implementations of hardware crypto acceleration both stable and trouble-free in FreeBSD ? I appreciate all comments and suggestions.
