It should be any, but the one I tested on was an AXL-200.

This accelerator doesn't store keys, its a modular exponentiator (well,
lots of them, in fact).

It depends on the device. For example, this particular device happens to
have a pretty compatible big number format, which reduced the complexity
of the job.
