Hi list,
i plan to by a a SBC for a small home server which should support IPSec
encryption.
I would like to get at least 5MB/s samba/nfs via IPSec from local disk
and the system should be low power (< 20W) and fanless.
I read that the VIA CPUs have crypto support built in.
I am a bit unsure however, which CPU is actually supported by OpenBSD
and which ones support the different ciphers used by IPSec.
All i know so far is that C3 stepping >= 8 is fully supported.
But what about the other CPUs?
C7: Work in progress?
Core Fusion: ?
Eden: ?
Another question: some VIA CPUs only show "RNG AES" in dmesg, SHA and
RSA are missing. Are these CPUs able to accelerate IPsec at all?
This is quite a few questions, but i have not yet found a comparison of
the CPUs w/r to encryption support :-)
Thanks for any infos or pointers.
