It is available in the EU and can do AES256 without a problem. It does have linux support, though I'm not sure if it can be used by OpenSSL applications. Typically, you'd have to have the crypto accelerator take over API calls to en/decrypt for OpenSSL (A crypto accelerator is basically an FPGA with the required algos coded in), so I'm not too sure if it is possible to do this without actually editing OpenSSL's code directly ~ Vasily Ivanov --------------------------------------------------------------------- - http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: dm-crypt-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: dm-crypt-help@xxxxxxxx
