First question: Does the build of openssl your using support the Padlock engine? Enter: openssl engine padlock Expect, at least: (padlock) VIA PadLock (no-RNG, ACE) If not, hope you enjoy patching the source code. There is a known patch for 0.9.8e that applies to 0.9.8h (and maybe later versions) One person's experience listed here: http://forum.netbookuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=5872#p5872 That is on the C7-M processor (similar Padlock engine). Find that you have to write the code yourself? Go here: http://linux.via.com.tw/support/downloadFiles.action In the right-hand "platform" drop-down box, select: CPU Where you will find a document named: Padlock Programming Guide for VIA C3/C7 CPU And the associated download link: http://linux.via.com.tw/support/beginDownload.action?eleid=181&fid=261 VIA has finally released the documentation on the Padlock engine (yea). The released documentation is still watermarked as requiring NDA (no longer so) and is dated 2005 (boo) but at least it is a start. If you can share any code you have to patch into openSSL, that would be nice for everyone.
