Use Intel AES-NI instructions for AES algorithm.
AES cipher algorithms (FIPS-197). AES uses the Rijndael
algorithm.
Rijndael appears to be consistently a very good performer in
both hardware and software across a wide range of computing
environments regardless of its use in feedback or non-feedback
modes. Its key setup time is excellent, and its key agility is
good. Rijndael's very low memory requirements make it very well
suited for restricted-space environments, in which it also
demonstrates excellent performance. Rijndael's operations are
among the easiest to defend against power and timing attacks.
The AES specifies three key sizes: 128, 192 and 256 bits
See <http://csrc.nist.gov/encryption/aes/> for more information.
In addition to AES cipher algorithm support, the
acceleration for some popular block cipher mode is supported
too, including ECB, CBC, CTR, LRW, PCBC, XTS.
