(got booted off the list due to bounces) News in from San Jose microprocessor forum: latest VIA C3 C5P does 1 GHz at 7 W power dissipation, has now two hardware RNG engines (and two x86 opcodes to read them), and an Advanced Cryptography Engine which can do AES (Rijndael128? doesn't say which) at 12.5 GBit/s rate. Next-generation (Esther, early 2004) will add SHA-1 support in hardware. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07078, 11.61144 http://www.leitl.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE [demime 0.97c removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
