AFAIK OpenSSL 0.9.7 is going to have pluggable cryptographic service providers (engines). 0.9.6 doesn't have this (it's all software) but 0.9.6-engine does. You can therefore use an engine based version with hardware crypto if you have an appropriate engine. 0.9.6 supports three? of engines, software, nCipher and attalla?
