Thank you Gary!

I visited the web page you suggested me (http://www.kegel.com/ssl/hw.html) and I could read several interesting informations. Unfortunately, some of this informations are obsolete, anyway, I would evaluate the "nChiper nForce" card with STunnel.

Do you know if is possible to configure STunnel in order to use the "engine" of nChiper nForce" card? If it is, could you provide me a configuration example regarding the using of STunnel with nChiper nForce" card?

Thanks a lot! Dom

I'd say always use the latest stable version, as there are bug fixes.

As for cards, it isn't stunnel, but rather openssl that provides the support. Here's a web page of all sorts of information on it:

Thank you Gary, for your suggestion.

Actually, what I really need, it's a similar setup that Jay W. Reffner has reached with the technical indications of M.Trojnara. Following, the link regarding the topic of Jay W. Reffner I said before: http://marc.info/?l=stunnel-users&m=104434871412701&w=2

Unfortunately, I have to find a "SSL Accelerator card" that support OpenSSL and configure STunnel to use this card.

Please, help me. :)

Best Regards. Dom

I have not used any of the cypher engines myself. I've investigated using the VIA chipset for it, but haven't implemented it. I would suggest you ask around in the OpenSSL mailing lists, since it is OpenSSL and not stunnel which provides for the hardware support.

As someone else already said, configuring the use of such a card is not done by stunnel, but by openssl, so you'll find better answers in an openssl mailing list.

Yes, I understood what you said about OpenSSL. Anyway, I'd like to know if there is someone that could suggest me a "SSL Accelerator card", in sense of product, in order to get directly a good solutions for my needs

Same answer. Ask on the OpenSSL list.

I need a solution asap, I have to take a critical decision in few days.

I'd politely suggest that you need to push back your decision if you are just starting to research this question.
