Detailed 9information about the NITROX V security processor can be obtained here: 10 11* https://www.marvell.com/security-solutions/nitrox-security-processors/nitrox-v/ 12 13Features 14-------- 15 16Nitrox crypto PMD has support for: 17 18Cipher algorithms: 19 20* ``RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES_CBC`` 21* ``RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_3DES_CBC`` 22 23Hash algorithms: 24 25* ``RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA1_HMAC`` 26* ``RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA224_HMAC`` 27* ``RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA256_HMAC`` 28 29Limitations 30----------- 31 32* AES_CBC Cipher Only combination is not supported. 33* 3DES Cipher Only combination is not supported. 34* Session-less APIs are not supported. 35 36Installation 37------------ 38 39For compiling the Nitrox crypto PMD, please check if the 40CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_NITROX setting is set to `y` in config/common_base file. 41 42* ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_NITROX=y`` 43 44Initialization 45-------------- 46 47Nitrox crypto PMD depend on Nitrox kernel PF driver being installed on the 48platform. Nitrox PF driver is required to create VF devices which will 49be used by the PMD. Each VF device can enable one cryptodev PMD. 50 51Nitrox kernel PF driver is available as part of CNN55XX-Driver SDK. The SDK 52and it's installation instructions can be obtained from: 53`Marvell Technical Documentation Portal <https://support.cavium.com/>`_. 54
