What kind of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) curves are supported?
What kind of Intel® QAT cryptographic algorithms are supported by Intel Chipset C627A?
Does Intel® QAT 8960 support SM2/3/4?

Resolution

Note

The list of algorithms below may not be supported by all Intel® QAT hardware versions.
Opt-in means the algorithm is supported, but not enabled with the default configuration. The flag --enable-legacy-algorithms must be used when building the Intel® QAT driver to enable these legacy algorithms.
See additional details in Intel® QAT Cryptographic Services.

Intel® QuickAssist Technology (Intel® QAT) supports the following cryptographic algorithms.
