Author PIX, VPN Accelerator Cards for AES

Hello,

I am about to choose the transforms for a huge VPN depoyment using PIX
firewalls from 501 to 535 HA. Some of those firewalls will have VPN AC
cards, others not.

Question, Are the VPN AC cards optimized for 3DES/DES or is it also
bringing refreshing soda's for busy PIX using AES?

That post since I know some VPN Ac cards, like for Soekris firewalls are
optimized only for DES/3DES. So I am wondering ;-)

Thank you very much,

Julien

Hopefuly, cards based on Hi/fn 7955 ship like soekris one are supporting
also AES...

Have a look to "VPN Accelerator Card Plus", it seems to support AES.

Alex.
