<li>Intel 82802AB/82802AC Firmware Hub RNG

The 82802 FWH chip (found on i810, i820, and i840 motherboards) contains

a random number generator (RNG). High-performance IPSEC requires more

random number entropy. As of April 10, 2000, we support the RNG. We

will add support for other RNG's found on crypto chips.

<li>OpenSSL

We have grand schemes for supporting crypto cards that can do RSA or DSA,

and exporting the functions of all crypto cards to OpenSSL so that

userland programs (ie. <a href="http://www.openssh.com">ssh</a>,

<a href="http://www.modssl.org/">apache https</a>, etc)

can benefit.
