Custom crypto in hardwareYour question is very interesting. I would like to
know why prompted looking for a custom algorithm?
My company produces a dual gigabit NIC card with a multi-threaded processor on
the NIC card. The card allows developers to write a driver and download what
ever code you desire to the NIC card to offload the processing from the main
CPU. I like to get peoples interest if they like a opportunity to test-drive
this card once its available.
Peut, I think our card will do what you want it to do and more, but you need
someone to write/port software for it.

Subject: Custom crypto in hardware
Hi Freebies!!
I know F-BSD 4.8 supports a framework in the kernel to use crypto
functions from hifn crypto cards. Is there any of these cards that
support custom crypto? What is the best route to go if I want to support
IPSec (and maybe other) crypto functions but with custom crypto
algorithms?
Any info or ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks
Peut
