Jack, I've played around with the IBM 2058 eServer Cryptographic Accelerator using it on Linux 2.4 with an OpenSSL engine supplied by IBM as an open source project see http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/icadd/index.html and http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/libica
It has 5 UltraCypher processors on board and the OpenSSL speed command reports up to 60 times as many RSA operations/sec than the OpenSSL software only implementation on an Intel Xeon 2.4GHz Hope this helps Markus ---- Markus Lorch Dept. of Computer Science Virginia Tech > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack Lloyd > Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2004 1:34 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: SSL accel cards > > > > Does anyone know of an SSL acceleration card that actually > works under Linux/*BSD?
