What?

ARMv8-A has hardware accelerated SHA(1/2), AES, and a carry-less multiply. As far as I am aware this still requires using OpenSSL 1.1.x (currently beta), and I don't remember off the top of my head if the code necessary to use newer OpenSSL was backported to pre 0.2.9.x.
Interesting, I didn't know that. However, because only very new boards support ARMv8 and because stable OpenSSL releases don't yet support its AES extension, it seems that crypto speed remains a problem for now.
Best, Mike
