Precisely. However, speed of the crypto engine should be directly proportional to a peak speed of the RNG, so I thought that it's slow speed might confirm that the engine is being used, and is simply slow. Also, we didn't really test where are those random bits coming from :P Is the TRNG used by default, or some tinkering's in order to make it work? BTW... `ubench`? :) [SorAlx] ridin' VN1500-B2 _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
