To begin with we may need to figure out *why* a phone vendor
would add a crypto accelerator to their phones. Personally I do
not see that happen because there's no obvious need for it.
What phone vendors actually do work with is rather hardware-based
key storage. Nokia have had such facilities for years but have
been unable to expose it to end-users due to lack of support
infrastructure. Android "cupcake" does (AFAICT) still not support
TLS-client-certificate authentication which makes HW-protected keys
a no-issue.

In the archives, OK asks about hardware crypto accelerators. I'm sure
that as soon as someone makes a phone that has one built-in, they'll
provide a driver, too. That's what device manufacturers have been
doing so far. OpenSSL, at least, has stubs for calling out to such
drivers, but I don't know about all the other crypto
libraries/implementations in Android.
