I was thinking more on the lines of "Quantum Solace" meets GHCQ. Now, seriously, I didn't look at the link but I heard an interview to some guys behind this a few months ago. Thinking this actually would work quite well for "sleep" SETI-type computation.

cool thing this one... we all have a (crypto)graphic chip on our computer :)

I guess Dell servers will switch GPU's now, and call it "With SSL offloading processor"

Yeah, sure, SETI will benefit with a CUDA client, but really, this is the end of the custom SSL processing chips, me thinks.

well, you do know why 3DES was used for way longer after the adoption of AES, don't you? I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't still being used...

hardware support on some chips, I suppose. And yes, I'm sure people still use it.
I just want to have decently priced SSL help for my servers...
