Hi Chinmaya,
I am an engineer working with S/W team at Cavium. I work on OpenSSL
and
Crypto relates Tool kits. We already have a separate Octeon OpenSSL toolkit
which leverages
crypto acceleration of Octeon. If you are interested i can give some
contacts who can
help you get the Toolkit.
Thanks
Ravichandra
