You might or might not be aware about ALIX, the successor to WRAP. There's not a lot of RAM (256 MByte) and the AMD Geode LX is not a very fast CPU, but it has a crypto accelerator, which is already supported e.g. by OpenBSD http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=glxsb&sektion=4&arch=i386 and most likely, also in Linux. I know pfSense doesn't do it yet, but bleeding edge FreeBSD should as well. According to http://archives.seul.org/or/dev/Feb-2007/msg00045.html it seems the Geode LX could be a good match for Tor. Whether the RNG would be also useful I have absolutely no idea. At the total hardware price just over 100 EUR that could be a useful Tor appliance. Notice that it's completely quiet, uses very little power, and thus can be installed in cramped locations, or otherwise inconspicuously. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
