In linux kernel since version 2.6.12
Some VIA processors come with an integrated crypto engine
(so called VIA PadLock ACE, Advanced Cryptography Engine)
that provides instructions for very fast {en,de}cryption
with some algorithms.
The instructions are used only when the CPU supports them.
Otherwise software encryption is used. If you are unsure,
say Y.
