Thanks for your reply; alternatively, I could use an Alix board for
this task (faster CPU than WRAP, 500MHz vs. 233MHz and newer core
design). However, the used AMD Geode LX CPU also features a 'Crypto
Unit', but from AMD's Data Book on this CPU [0] I don't get the idea
whether it also accellerates RSA operations or just AES stuff.

Any hint appreciated,

Timo
