* ConfigQ? arch=i368; AES (generic v. i586) @ 2007-11-18 23:27 Linda Walsh 2007-11-19 1:49 ` Herbert Xu 0 siblings, 1 reply; 2+ messages in thread From: Linda Walsh @ 2007-11-18 23:27 UTC (permalink / raw) To: LKML There are two options for AES cipher algorithms under the Cryptographic API. They read: _ AES Cipher algorithms _ AES Cipher algorithms (i586) --- I assume(?) the i586 is for pentiums of some nature -- but is that any machine pentium(i586) or "newer"(686, P4, Core2, Centrino?). If both options are selected (mod or compiled in), will the loading of the AES cipher automatically select the better choice? Thanks, Lin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

It's optimised for Pentium and above but should work even on a 386. > If both options are selected (mod or compiled in), will the > loading of the AES cipher automatically select the better choice? Yes.
