The document provides instructions to setup the OpenSSL toolkit to leverage Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) for hardware acceleration of cryptographic operations. It involves installing the QAT kernel driver, OpenSSL, and the QAT engine on an Intel system with a QAT device. Key steps include extracting packages, configuring OpenSSL to use the QAT engine, and testing that RSA signatures see significant performance improvements when offloaded to the QAT hardware.
