** Description changed:

  VIA PadLock is a hardware cryptography engine for AES and SHA1/256.
  
- OpenSSH should support PadLock. Initial work on PadLock support has already been done:
+ OpenSSH should support PadLock. Upstream OpenSSH versions do support
+ padlock, and a working patch exists in openssh-portable bug #1437 (see
+ remote bug watches) as of 4.9p1. The patch applies and works fine in
+ 4.7p1.
+ 
+ A small bugfix patch to the version of OpenSSL in Ubuntu is also
+ required for this to work. The bugfix is included in OpenSSL upstream
+ 0.9.8h. It applies fine and works fine on 0.9.8g.
+ 
+ Initial work on PadLock support was done some time ago:
