ssl acceleration cards

2009-07-02 Thread Cameron Jacobson
Just wondering if anyone knows whether any ssl acceleration cards on
the market support the asynchronous or public-key algorithms?  Though
I've tested cards I know have public key functionality, the driver
FreeBSD uses never seems to support the public key algorithms, only
improves processing speed on private key functionality.  Ultimately my
goal here is to speed up HTTPS on my server.

Thanks,
Cameron

SSL Acceleration cards

2009-06-20 Thread Cameron Jacobson
I posted a message about SSL Acceleration cards a while back on one of
the newsgroups, but never got a response.  I'm revisiting this now
that I've got a project in the works that I'd like to utilize this
technology, but still don't think I have the equipment I need.  I
purchased several SSL cards a while back and all of them did quite
well on OpenSSL when I ran the 'speed' utility for Synchronous
algorithms, but it was obvious FreeBSD wasn't utilizing the
Asynchronous functionality of the cards.

Does anyone have recommendations on some relatively inexpensive SSL
Acceleration cards (recommended, preferably where the manufacturer
actually supports the BSD drivers) where FreeBSD can perform with
asynchronous algorithms as well?

Thanks,
Cameron
