Also, as Michael Richardson <mcr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> reminded me: SHA256 is slower, and there are no hardware accelerators for it. (while, I think, VIA supports SHA1 acceleration?) If you want to switch, a switch to accelerated AES-XCBC would be a better choice, I think. Or, AES-GCM mode, which hashes and encrypts in one step.
