Happily, it DOES appear that there may be some hope for the Allwinner A20 based Cubieboard 2 (I haven't checked for the original Cubieboard yet): "The Security System (SS) is one encrypt/ decrypt function accelerator that is suitable for a variety of applications. It supports both encryption and

I was looking into this for the BeagleBone black [1], which has on-chip accelerators for AES, SHA (1 I think), and md5. The TI processor also has a HWRNG. My belief was that by using the cryptodev kernel module [2] I could get this working, but I ran in some issues building the kernel and then I
