Careful of what sources you trust! If a processor was storing the keys used, non volatile then people would have found out. Software encryption wouldn't save you either. If there is a back door it won't have anything to do with AES-NI that can be analysed so easily. I'm conscious of being far from OpenBSD relevance, so excluding myself from this thread now.
