I had not thought of the crypto cards, but the only crypto hardware acceleration in general purpose CPU's I know of are the AES functions in the newer intel CPU's, which are gladly used by TrueCrypt. And I see the advantage in using that in TrueCrypt, which is constantly busy. But the few encrypted messages people get via email can easily be handled by a much slower CPU than I have now. My reading speed is the limiting factor there, not the computers decrypting speed. -- Met vriendelijke groet / With kind regards, Johan Wevers PGP/GPG public keys at http://www.xs4all.nl/~johanw/pgpkeys.html _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
