4KASUMI Crypto Poll Mode Driver
5===============================
6
7The KASUMI PMD (**librte_crypto_kasumi**) provides poll mode crypto driver support for
8utilizing `Intel IPSec Multi-buffer library <https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb>`_
9which implements F8 and F9 functions for KASUMI UEA1 cipher and UIA1 hash algorithms.
10
11Features
12--------
13
14KASUMI PMD has support for:
15
16Cipher algorithm:
17
18* RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_KASUMI_F8
19
20Authentication algorithm:
21
22* RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_KASUMI_F9
23
24Limitations
25-----------
26
27* Chained mbufs are not supported.
28* KASUMI(F9) supported only if hash offset and length field is byte-aligned.
29* In-place bit-level operations for KASUMI(F8) are not supported
30  (if length and/or offset of data to be ciphered is not byte-aligned).
31
32
33Installation
34------------
35
36To build DPDK with the KASUMI_PMD the user is required to download the multi-buffer
37library from `here <https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb>`_
38and compile it on their user system before building DPDK.
39The latest version of the library supported by this PMD is v0.54, which
40can be downloaded from `<https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb/archive/v0.54.zip>`_.
41
42After downloading the library, the user needs to unpack and compile it
43on their system before building DPDK:
44
45.. code-block:: console
46
47    make
48    make install
49
50The library requires NASM to be built. Depending on the library version, it might
51require a minimum NASM version (e.g. v0.54 requires at least NASM 2.14).
52
53NASM is packaged for different OS. However, on some OS the version is too old,
54so a manual installation is required. In that case, NASM can be downloaded from
55`NASM website <https://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/?C=M;O=D>`_.
56Once it is downloaded, extract it and follow these steps:
57
58.. code-block:: console
59
60    ./configure
61    make
62    make install
63
64.. note::
65
66   Compilation of the Multi-Buffer library is broken when GCC < 5.0, if library <= v0.53.
67   If a lower GCC version than 5.0, the workaround proposed by the following link
68   should be used: `<https://github.com/intel/intel-ipsec-mb/issues/40>`_.
69
70As a reference, the following table shows a mapping between the past DPDK versions
71and the external crypto libraries supported by them:

77   =============  ================================

79   =============  ================================

81   20.02+         Multi-buffer library 0.53 - 0.54

85Initialization
86--------------
87
88In order to enable this virtual crypto PMD, user must:
89
90* Build the multi buffer library (explained in Installation section).
91
92To use the PMD in an application, user must:
93
94* Call rte_vdev_init("crypto_kasumi") within the application.
95
96* Use --vdev="crypto_kasumi" in the EAL options, which will call rte_vdev_init() internally.
97
98The following parameters (all optional) can be provided in the previous two calls:
99
100* socket_id: Specify the socket where the memory for the device is going to be allocated
101  (by default, socket_id will be the socket where the core that is creating the PMD is running on).
102
103* max_nb_queue_pairs: Specify the maximum number of queue pairs in the device (8 by default).
104
105* max_nb_sessions: Specify the maximum number of sessions that can be created (2048 by default).
106
107Example:
108
109.. code-block:: console
110
111    ./dpdk-l2fwd-crypto -l 1 -n 4 --vdev="crypto_kasumi,socket_id=0,max_nb_sessions=128" \
112    -- -p 1 --cdev SW --chain CIPHER_ONLY --cipher_algo "kasumi-f8"
113
114Extra notes on KASUMI F9
115------------------------
116
117When using KASUMI F9 authentication algorithm, the input buffer must be
118constructed according to the 3GPP KASUMI specifications (section 4.4, page 13):
119`<http://cryptome.org/3gpp/35201-900.pdf>`_.
120Input buffer has to have COUNT (4 bytes), FRESH (4 bytes), MESSAGE and DIRECTION (1 bit)
121concatenated. After the DIRECTION bit, a single '1' bit is appended, followed by
122between 0 and 7 '0' bits, so that the total length of the buffer is multiple of 8 bits.
123Note that the actual message can be any length, specified in bits.
124
125Once this buffer is passed this way, when creating the crypto operation,
126length of data to authenticate (op.sym.auth.data.length) must be the length
127of all the items described above, including the padding at the end.
128Also, offset of data to authenticate (op.sym.auth.data.offset)
129must be such that points at the start of the COUNT bytes.
