The Geode LX Security Block only accelerates AES. That said, my LX800 (Soekris net5501) happily saturates two .11g channels with AES-encrypted IPsec traffic and still has CPU to spare. Although the hifn(4) hardware has some support for RSA, the driver doesn't use it. I also wonder what usage scenario you envision that would profit from RSA acceleration. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [EMAIL PROTECTED]
