30OpenSSL Crypto Poll Mode Driver
31===============================
32
33This code provides the initial implementation of the openssl poll mode
34driver. All cryptography operations are using Openssl library crypto API.
35Each algorithm uses EVP interface from openssl API - which is recommended
36by Openssl maintainers.

70Installation
71------------
72
73To compile openssl PMD, it has to be enabled in the config/common_base file
74and appropriate openssl packages have to be installed in the build environment.
75
76The newest openssl library version is supported:
77* 1.0.2h-fips  3 May 2016.
78Older versions that were also verified:
79* 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014
80* 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012
81
82For Ubuntu 14.04 LTS these packages have to be installed in the build system:
83sudo apt-get install openssl
84sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386 (for i686-native-linuxapp-gcc target)
85
86This code was also verified on Fedora 24.
87This code was NOT yet verified on FreeBSD.
88
89Initialization
90--------------
91
92User can use app/test application to check how to use this pmd and to verify
93crypto processing.
94
95Test name is cryptodev_openssl_autotest.
96For performance test cryptodev_openssl_perftest can be used.
97
98To verify real traffic l2fwd-crypto example can be used with this command:
99
100.. code-block:: console
101
102	sudo ./build/l2fwd-crypto -l 0-1 -n 4 --vdev "crypto_openssl"
103	--vdev "crypto_openssl"-- -p 0x3 --chain CIPHER_HASH
104	--cipher_op ENCRYPT --cipher_algo AES_CBC
105	--cipher_key 00:01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f
106	--iv 00:01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:ff
107	--auth_op GENERATE --auth_algo SHA1_HMAC
108	--auth_key 11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11
109	: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
110	:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11
111
112Limitations
113-----------
114
115* Maximum number of sessions is 2048.
116* Chained mbufs are supported only for source mbuf (destination must be
117  contiguous).
118* Hash only is not supported for GCM and GMAC.
119* Cipher only is not supported for GCM and GMAC.
