VIA padlock engine or RSA? The former is heavily used in the wild, but
why would anyone want to use RSA

Automatic SSL done in-kernel on user data for socket I/O, with
hardware offload from the crypto layer when available.
AFAIK

eCryptfs uses RSA.
Right now it has to defer to a userspace daemon to perform the
operation.

I am considering RSA as an option for research purposes; though I need
it only for decryption purposes. Any specific reason for running the
daemon in user space?

OK that'd be the most convincing case for me then.
Thanks,
