Further to my previous message, I have not only received my Cryptoswift
card, but I actually have it working. I'm seeing a speed improvement of
around 20x on a Dual Pentium 166.
Unfortunately the instructions that come with the software on the Rainbow
site misses out some vital information for Linux users regarding
installation. Thankfully they sent me a fuller list of instructions (which
of course has a small mistake. Nice one!)
It is fairly complex, and should be possible to install using an rpm
instead. I'll get on to writing this soon and make it available via the
modssl ftp site, if no-one minds.
In short, you follow Rainbow's instructions to build a loadable module
cspci.o and to install their C library libswift.so.5.0.2.
You then need to install the openssl-engine-0.9.6 code and compile mod_ssl
with the flag "--enable-rule=SSL_EXPERIMENTAL" (Rainbow's instructions
missed a hyphen ie "-enable-rule=SSL_EXPERIMENTAL"). You use the line
"SSLCryptoDevice cswift" in your SSL Global Context section of httpd.conf.
Easy eh!
