Supports AES-128-GMAC for SMB signing acceleration

SMB signing (also known as security signatures) is a security mechanism in the SMB protocol. For business applications that demand high-level security, SMB signing helps enhance file sharing security by protecting against interception attacks. However, SMB signing can also negatively impact data transmission performance. QTS 5.1.0 supports AES-128-GMAC signing acceleration (only in Windows Server 2022 and Windows 11 clients) that not only greatly increases data signing efficiency over SMB 3.1.1 but also enhances the CPU utilization of the NAS system - providing the best balance of security and performance.
