30ZUC Crypto Poll Mode Driver
31===========================
32
33The ZUC PMD (**librte_pmd_zuc**) provides poll mode crypto driver
34support for utilizing Intel Libsso library, which implements F8 and F9 functions
35for ZUC EEA3 cipher and EIA3 hash algorithms.
36
37Features
38--------
39
40ZUC PMD has support for:
41
42Cipher algorithm:
43
44* RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_ZUC_EEA3
45
46Authentication algorithm:
47
48* RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_ZUC_EIA3
49
50Limitations
51-----------
52
53* Chained mbufs are not supported.
54* ZUC (EIA3) supported only if hash offset field is byte-aligned.
55* ZUC (EEA3) supported only if cipher length, cipher offset fields are byte-aligned.
56* ZUC PMD cannot be built as a shared library, due to limitations in
57  in the underlying library.
58
59
60Installation
61------------
62
63To build DPDK with the ZUC_PMD the user is required to download
64the export controlled ``libsso_zuc`` library, by requesting it from
65`<https://networkbuilders.intel.com/network-technologies/dpdk>`_.
66Once approval has been granted, the user needs to log in
67`<https://networkbuilders.intel.com/dpdklogin>`_
68and click on "ZUC Library" link, to download the library.
69After downloading the library, the user needs to unpack and compile it
70on their system before building DPDK::
71
72   make
73
74Initialization
75--------------
76
77In order to enable this virtual crypto PMD, user must:
78
79* Export the environmental variable LIBSSO_ZUC_PATH with the path where
80  the library was extracted (zuc folder).
81
82* Build the LIBSSO_ZUC library (explained in Installation section).
83
84* Build DPDK as follows:
85
86.. code-block:: console
87
88	make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
89	sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_ZUC\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
90	make
91
92To use the PMD in an application, user must:
93
94* Call rte_eal_vdev_init("crypto_zuc") within the application.
95
96* Use --vdev="crypto_zuc" in the EAL options, which will call rte_eal_vdev_init() internally.
97
98The following parameters (all optional) can be provided in the previous two calls:
99
100* socket_id: Specify the socket where the memory for the device is going to be allocated
101  (by default, socket_id will be the socket where the core that is creating the PMD is running on).
102
103* max_nb_queue_pairs: Specify the maximum number of queue pairs in the device (8 by default).
104
105* max_nb_sessions: Specify the maximum number of sessions that can be created (2048 by default).
106
107Example:
108
109.. code-block:: console
110
111    ./l2fwd-crypto -l 6 -n 4 --vdev="crypto_zuc,socket_id=1,max_nb_sessions=128"
