32MVSAM Crypto Poll Mode Driver
33=============================
34
35The MVSAM CRYPTO PMD (**librte_crypto_mvsam_pmd**) provides poll mode crypto driver
36support by utilizing MUSDK library, which provides cryptographic operations
37acceleration by using Security Acceleration Engine (EIP197) directly from
38user-space with minimum overhead and high performance.
39
40Features
41--------
42
43MVSAM CRYPTO PMD has support for:
44
45* Symmetric crypto
46* Sym operation chaining
47* AES CBC (128)
48* AES CBC (192)
49* AES CBC (256)
50* AES CTR (128)
51* AES CTR (192)
52* AES CTR (256)
53* 3DES CBC
54* 3DES CTR
55* MD5
56* MD5 HMAC
57* SHA1
58* SHA1 HMAC
59* SHA256
60* SHA256 HMAC
61* SHA384
62* SHA384 HMAC
63* SHA512
64* SHA512 HMAC
65* AES GCM (128)
66
67Limitations
68-----------
69
70* Hardware only supports scenarios where ICV (digest buffer) is placed just
71  after the authenticated data. Other placement will result in error.
72
73Installation
74------------
75
76MVSAM CRYPTO PMD driver compilation is disabled by default due to external dependencies.
77Currently there are two driver specific compilation options in
78``config/common_base`` available:
79
80- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MVSAM_CRYPTO`` (default ``n``)
81
82    Toggle compilation of the librte_pmd_mvsam driver.
83
84- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MVSAM_CRYPTO_DEBUG`` (default ``n``)
85
86    Toggle display of debugging messages.
87
88For a list of prerequisites please refer to `Prerequisites` section in
89:ref:`MVPP2 Poll Mode Driver <mvpp2_poll_mode_driver>` guide.
90
91MVSAM CRYPTO PMD requires MUSDK built with EIP197 support thus following
92extra option must be passed to the library configuration script:
93
94.. code-block:: console
95
96   --enable-sam
97
98For `crypto_safexcel.ko` module build instructions please refer
99to `doc/musdk_get_started.txt`.
100
101Initialization
102--------------
103
104After successfully building MVSAM CRYPTO PMD, the following modules need to be
105loaded:
106
107.. code-block:: console
108
109   insmod musdk_uio.ko
110   insmod mvpp2x_sysfs.ko
111   insmod mv_pp_uio.ko
112   insmod mv_sam_uio.ko
113   insmod crypto_safexcel.ko
114
115The following parameters (all optional) are exported by the driver:
116
117* max_nb_queue_pairs: maximum number of queue pairs in the device (8 by default).
118* max_nb_sessions: maximum number of sessions that can be created (2048 by default).
119* socket_id: socket on which to allocate the device resources on.
120
121l2fwd-crypto example application can be used to verify MVSAM CRYPTO PMD
122operation:
123
124.. code-block:: console
125
126   ./l2fwd-crypto --vdev=eth_mvpp2,iface=eth0 --vdev=crypto_mvsam -- \
127     --cipher_op ENCRYPT --cipher_algo aes-cbc \
128     --cipher_key 00:01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f  \
129     --auth_op GENERATE --auth_algo sha1-hmac \
130     --auth_key 10:11:12:13:14:15:16:17:18:19:1a:1b:1c:1d:1e:1f
