Hi,
See the man page for supported ciphers.

For single crypto streams, you are not going to see any improvement
really.  Where it works, is when you have multiple connections.  e.g.
on our old backup server, we would have several dumps coming in over
ssh (3des) and the card made a significant reduction in CPU usage.  It
doesnt really improve single crypto streams performance wise.

You can also confirm its working by using hifnstats in
/usr/src/tools/tools/
