Subject:   SSL / SSH choosing hardware accelerator first

Hello group, 

 

                I am currently running FreeBSD 9-Current AMD64. I have a
Hifn crypto accelerator installed in the machine. I have noticed that when I
connect to the machine using SSH, it does not use the crypto hardware. There
was a patch that someone made that forced SSL to use the hardware by
default, but I was wondering if there was a way to do this in
userland/configuration?  It would be nice to have the hardware accelerated
cryptography used as first priority before deciding to use the software
emulated modes. Does anyone know how this can be done?

 

Peg
