Does 7zip for Linux support AES-NI?












1















I am looking to encrypt a set of fairly large files using well supported, ideally cross-platform software. I understand that 7zip uses 256 bit AES encryption.



Does anyone know if standard Linux builds of 7z can make use of AES-NI (ie CPU acceleration for AES)?
