Hi, I am struggling setting up aes-in support with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I enabled aes in bios. cat /proc/cpuinfo shows the aes flag. #lsmod |grep aes aesni_intel 55664 0 cryptd 20530 1 aesni_intel aes_x86_64 17208 1 aesni_intel shows that the module is loaded. But #openssl engine (rsax) RSAX engine support (dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support shows not the aes engine. My openssl version is #openssl version OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012 Can someone give me a hint what I am doing wrong. Regards, Torland

shows that the module is loaded. But

shows not the aes engine. My openssl version is
#openssl version OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012
OpenSSL 1.0.1 uses AES-NI by default if it is available. Robert Ransom

Does this mean that the command #openssl engine (rsax) RSAX engine support (dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support does not need to show a line with "(aesni) Intel AES-NI engine" as described here at Torservers: https://www.torservers.net/wiki/setup/server#check_openssl_aes-ni_support Regards, Torland

Yes, that is correct. That is what " OpenSSL 1.0.1 does not come with an extra module and should directly support AES-NI. " in the wiki was meant to say. I will revise the section a bit. -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/

Thanks for clarification. I already supposed it because the openssl performance test on my server showed almost the same results as described in the torservers wiki. Regards, Torland
