The VIA C7-M (and other) cpu has hardware crypto function support grown into the silicon. The VIA name is "Padlock engine".
Does the development version (9.9?) of openSSL have support for this hardware? Is there a 'better' patch available for the released versions? For reference: Using 9.8h - http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8h.tar.gz Plus this patch - http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/padlock/contrib/openssl-0.9.8e-engine.diff Gives: openssl engine padlock (padlock) VIA PadLock (no-RNG, ACE) Note: There is a sha1sum replacement here, which uses the hardware: http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/padlock/phe_sum.c Built by: gcc -o phesum phe_sum.c chmod 775 phesum ; mv phesum /bin phesum (as a replacement for calls to sha1sum). ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
