safexcel4
Inside secure safexcel-ip-97 cryptographic offload engine
Usage
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device crypto device cryptodev device safexcel
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
safexcel_load="YES"
Overview
The safexcel driver implements crypto(4) support for the cryptographic acceleration functions of the EIP-97 device found on some Marvell systems-on-chip. The driver can accelerate the following AES modes:
-
AES-CBC
-
AES-CTR
-
AES-XTS
-
AES-GCM
-
AES-CCM
safexcel also implements SHA1 and SHA2 transforms, and can combine AES-CBC and AES-CTR with SHA1-HMAC and SHA2-HMAC for encrypt-then-authenticate operations.
Hardware
The safexcel driver supports the cryptographic acceleration functions of the Inside Secure EIP-97 device found on some Marvell systems-on-chip.
