RE: Open Source IPSec & accelerator cards
IRE has a crypto accelerator card (SafeNet Crypt/PCI) that's
optimized for very high performance acceleration of IPsec
transforms as well as IKE crypto computations. It uses
the ADSP-2141 crypto chip and can provide 155 Mbps ESP
(3-DES/SHA) throughput.
We'd be happy to work with anyone out there that is
adding hardware support to an IPsec implementation.
