Next generation Intel® QAT support with Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors
will feature an Intel® QAT cryptography and compression acceleration
engine.
QAT private key provider extension will use qatlib library
(https://github.com/intel/qatlib) to accelerate RSA operations in
handshakes. The extension will look a bit like the existing cryptomb
private key provider. The use case is to move the expensive
cryptographic operations away from the CPU to the accelerator device,
leaving CPU cycles for other use.
Support for Intel® QAT is already present in the mainline Linux kernel
and in Kubernetes device plugins (to expose the device files to
containers). There are previous generations of Intel QAT® hardware
devices, but they are not supported by this extension.
