Excuse my ignorance but I think it would be appropriate to clearify the architecture of using cryptocards with openssl. Sorry if this has been discussed. I assume the following: 1. We have an ssl library - openssl. 2. We have a crypto card(s) installed. 3. We have applications using openssl functions say mod_ssl, ssh. If the crypto card is supported, then openssl should be able to use its registered functions - say 3DES. If both ssh and mod_ssl use the same library - openssl - and its functions (3DES), how come that one application benefits from the hardware acceleration and the other one does not?! If there are other details that I'm missing in this picture I'll be glad to know them.
