help
Some VIA processors come with an integrated crypto engine
(so called VIA PadLock ACE, Advanced Cryptography Engine)
- that provides instructions for very fast {en,de}cryption
- with some algorithms.
+ that provides instructions for very fast cryptographic
+ operations with supported algorithms.
The instructions are used only when the CPU supports them.
Otherwise software encryption is used. If you are unsure,
say Y.

+ default m
help
Use VIA PadLock for AES algorithm.
+ Available in VIA C3 and newer CPUs.
+
+ If unsure say M. The compiled module will be
+ called padlock-aes.ko
