Hi All,
Last night at the meeting, I was chatting with Nikolai briefly about
the hardware crypto accelerators PCI cards that Soekris makes (Hi/fn),
and I was wondering this:
Has anybody seen any similar hardware crypto cards that do blowfish?
Just curious... Please feel free to tell me if this is a silly
request for any technical reason... I'm merely a cryptography user :)

For the record, the specs state that the Hi/fn cards do the following:
- Compression, LZS and MPPC at 420 to 510 Mbps
- Encryption, 128/192/256 AES, DES, 3-DES and RC4 at 210 to 460 Mbps
- Authentication, SHA-1 and MD5 at 325 to 360 Mbps
- Public Key, RSA, DSA, SSL, IKE and DH, 24 to 70 connections/sec
using 1024 bit keys
- Hardware random number generator
