The RPi 4 SoC does have crypto accelerators, specifically for HDCP. It does not have the ARMv8 crypto extensions.

Does it have any HW crypto accelerator that could be utilized from ARM side software? I couldn't find anything.
Not that I know of, but they're so cagey on details for those parts I wouldn't be surprised if it did and they just hadn't documented it. Certainly lots of quasi-similar boards like the espressobin have them (which I like better for the topaz switch anyway).
