Hi Tony,

Yes, ZXTM supports hardware SSL ASICS for the purposes of key management: Sun SCA 6000 and nCipher/Thales NetHSM are the options.  

It also supports several SSL ASICs for acceleration (some Cavium NITROX and NITROX II PCI cards, nCipher/Thales nFast), but as it can process 23,000 SSL TPS / 8.4GBits bulk encryption on a 2-way Nehalem server, you may find that many 'acceleration' cards slows it down.
