I'm writing an ENGINE wrapper for our new hardware.

Currently, the hardware does not have a CRT version
of modexp.  I see from the Atalla ENGINE that this
is not critical - one can simply ignore the component
primes p,q and just do a standard modexp.

Does anyone have any knowledge of the relative
speed of RSA decryption in hardware between
CRT modexp and non-CRT modexp?  Or links to
papers describing actual working hardware
implementations with actual timing data?

Is there any way to find out what is the most-used
key-exchange algorithm?  RSA?  Any way to at
least estimate?
