4KASUMI Crypto Poll Mode Driver
5===============================
6
7The KASUMI PMD (**librte_pmd_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
50.. note::
51
52   Compilation of the Multi-Buffer library is broken when GCC < 5.0, if library <= v0.53.
53   If a lower GCC version than 5.0, the workaround proposed by the following link
54   should be used: `<https://github.com/intel/intel-ipsec-mb/issues/40>`_.
55
56As a reference, the following table shows a mapping between the past DPDK versions
57and the external crypto libraries supported by them:

71Initialization
72--------------
73
74In order to enable this virtual crypto PMD, user must:
75
76* Build the multi buffer library (explained in Installation section).
77
78* Build DPDK as follows:
79
80.. code-block:: console
81
82	make config T=x86_64-native-linux-gcc
83	sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_KASUMI\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
84	make
85
86
87To use the PMD in an application, user must:
88
89* Call rte_vdev_init("crypto_kasumi") within the application.
90
91* Use --vdev="crypto_kasumi" in the EAL options, which will call rte_vdev_init() internally.
92
93The following parameters (all optional) can be provided in the previous two calls:
94
95* socket_id: Specify the socket where the memory for the device is going to be allocated
96  (by default, socket_id will be the socket where the core that is creating the PMD is running on).
97
98* max_nb_queue_pairs: Specify the maximum number of queue pairs in the device (8 by default).
99
100* max_nb_sessions: Specify the maximum number of sessions that can be created (2048 by default).
101
102Example:
103
104.. code-block:: console
105
106    ./l2fwd-crypto -l 1 -n 4 --vdev="crypto_kasumi,socket_id=0,max_nb_sessions=128" \
107    -- -p 1 --cdev SW --chain CIPHER_ONLY --cipher_algo "kasumi-f8"
108
109Extra notes on KASUMI F9
110------------------------
111
112When using KASUMI F9 authentication algorithm, the input buffer must be
113constructed according to the 3GPP KASUMI specifications (section 4.4, page 13):
114`<http://cryptome.org/3gpp/35201-900.pdf>`_.
115Input buffer has to have COUNT (4 bytes), FRESH (4 bytes), MESSAGE and DIRECTION (1 bit)
116concatenated. After the DIRECTION bit, a single '1' bit is appended, followed by
117between 0 and 7 '0' bits, so that the total length of the buffer is multiple of 8 bits.
118Note that the actual message can be any length, specified in bits.
119
120Once this buffer is passed this way, when creating the crypto operation,
121length of data to authenticate (op.sym.auth.data.length) must be the length
122of all the items described above, including the padding at the end.
123Also, offset of data to authenticate (op.sym.auth.data.offset)
124must be such that points at the start of the COUNT bytes.
