Hi, I was just reading through the tor man page, and I came across the HardwareAccel and AccelName options. This peaked my interest because my new laptop has the AES-NI CPU instruction set. I added this to my torrc: HardwareAccel 1 AccelName aesni And now when I start Tor I get this: [notice] Using OpenSSL engine Intel AES-NI engine [aesni] for AES My question is... Why wasn't AES-NI taken advantage of by default? Why did I have to come across it by accident? Even in the man page it says that all you have to do is run "openssl engine" to find out what engines you have available. Why couldn't Tor have done this it's self? -- Mike Cardwell https://grepular.com/ https://twitter.com/mickeyc Professional http://cardwellit.com/ http://linkedin.com/in/mikecardwell PGP.mit.edu 0018461F/35BC AF1D 3AA2 1F84 3DC3 B0CF 70A5 F512 0018 461F
