Clearly ARM sees an opportunity for synergy with PolarSSL. I've built a few services on top of ARM based SOC and being able to fully utilize on onboard cryptographic coprocessor for file serving applications can be a performance challenge. There are some options [http://www.altechnative.net/2011/05/22/hardware-accelerated-ssl-on-marvell-kirkwood-arm-using-openssl-on-fedora/ http://www.altechnative.net/2011/05/22/hardware-accelerated-...] for getting openssl hardware accelerated on common arm boards, but it could be made much easier to get a performant configuration if PolarSSL and ARM worked together. I hope that this acquisition will pave the way to an encrypted internet of things.
