Teensy 3.5 & 3.6 by Paul Stoffregen — Kickstarter

Teensy are Arduino compatible microprocessor boards with a bit more oomph than Arduino. The new Teensies run on an ARM processor and at clock speeds above 100 MHz, while still beeing teensy in size.

The new Teens boards have a dedicated cryptographic co-processor that according to the PDFs linked below supports acceleration of the DES, 3DES, AES, MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256 algorithms. So basically cryptographic hasing (SHA-256) and symmetric crypto (AES).
