hardware crypto and SSL?

[Mike Tancsa]

Dont know about http ssl, but I am using the cards from Soekris for my 
backup server.  As long as you use 3des for encryption, it does make a big 
difference CPU wise.   The next generation cards supposedly have AES and 
public key generation, but I dont think the driver will do the public key 
stuff. The safe driver says it does, but I dont know where to get such cards.
