Description

We may want to support AES encryption/decryption optimized with Intel AES-NI in case of common server platform in case we dont already use an hsm. Algorithm proposed:

1. Detect if the system has AES-NI enabled

2. In case it has, use the AES-NI primitive

3. Otherwise switch back to software AES.
