4OpenSSL Crypto Poll Mode Driver
5===============================
6
7This code provides the initial implementation of the openssl poll mode
8driver. All cryptography operations are using Openssl library crypto API.
9Each algorithm uses EVP interface from openssl API - which is recommended
10by Openssl maintainers.

50Installation
51------------
52
53To compile openssl PMD, it has to be enabled in the config/common_base file
54and appropriate openssl packages have to be installed in the build environment.
55
56The newest openssl library version is supported:
57
58* 1.0.2h-fips  3 May 2016.
59
60Older versions that were also verified:
61
62* 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014
63* 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012
64
65For Ubuntu 14.04 LTS these packages have to be installed in the build system:
66
67.. code-block:: console
68
69    sudo apt-get install openssl
70    sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386 # for i686-native-linuxapp-gcc target
71
72This code was also verified on Fedora 24.
73This code has NOT been verified on FreeBSD yet.
74
75Initialization
76--------------
77
78User can use app/test application to check how to use this pmd and to verify
79crypto processing.
80
81Test name is cryptodev_openssl_autotest.
82For performance test cryptodev_openssl_perftest can be used.
83For asymmetric crypto operations testing, run cryptodev_openssl_asym_autotest.
84
85To verify real traffic l2fwd-crypto example can be used with this command:
86
87.. code-block:: console
88
89	sudo ./build/l2fwd-crypto -l 0-1 -n 4 --vdev "crypto_openssl"
90	--vdev "crypto_openssl"-- -p 0x3 --chain CIPHER_HASH
91	--cipher_op ENCRYPT --cipher_algo AES_CBC
92	--cipher_key 00:01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f
93	--iv 00:01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:ff
94	--auth_op GENERATE --auth_algo SHA1_HMAC
95	--auth_key 11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11
96	:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11
97	:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11

99Limitations
100-----------
101
102* Maximum number of sessions is 2048.
103* Chained mbufs are supported only for source mbuf (destination must be
104  contiguous).
105* Hash only is not supported for GCM and GMAC.
106* Cipher only is not supported for GCM and GMAC.
