-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi *,
I have a simple question: In the near future I am going to buy one of those fantastic little boxes from Soekris ( http://www.soekris.com/net5501.htm ) with an additional "hardware security accelerator" ( http://www.soekris.com/vpn1401.htm ) board that can take over the en-/decryption of secured connections using public key, RSA, DSA, SSL, IKE and DH, authentication, compression, LZS, MPPC, ... using the crypto engine "Hi/fn 7955" (using http://sourceforge.net/projects/hifn7951/ experimental driver for linux). Would a current freenet client denefit from these hardware accelerations? The main question thereof is: Is the encryption/decryption secure connection handling implemented in pure Java or is it dome using the native (for Linux/Unix systems shared) libraries? And if it is implemented in pure Java wouldn't it give freenet an extra performance boost when it used native/shared libraries for such a task that can be compiled with specific processor optimization flags? Thanx in advance for any answers. :-) Regards, AncoL -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAklAoSwACgkQQvkuA0fAo7kgCwCeLpgxn93VvPLPld5SgpEqQsxq sCMAoKjlwZRsHSx3MKxJqvXypLrkl9yG =qpwM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
