4ZUC Crypto Poll Mode Driver
5===========================
6
7The ZUC PMD (**librte_pmd_zuc**) provides poll mode crypto driver support for
8utilizing `Intel IPSec Multi-buffer library <https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb>`_
9which implements F8 and F9 functions for ZUC EEA3 cipher and EIA3 hash algorithms.
10
11Features
12--------
13
14ZUC PMD has support for:
15
16Cipher algorithm:
17
18* RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_ZUC_EEA3
19
20Authentication algorithm:
21
22* RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_ZUC_EIA3
23
24Limitations
25-----------
26
27* Chained mbufs are not supported.
28* ZUC (EIA3) supported only if hash offset field is byte-aligned.
29* ZUC (EEA3) supported only if cipher length, cipher offset fields are byte-aligned.

32Installation
33------------
34
35To build DPDK with the ZUC_PMD the user is required to download the multi-buffer
36library from `here <https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb>`_
37and compile it on their user system before building DPDK.
38The latest version of the library supported by this PMD is v0.53, which
39can be downloaded from `<https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb/archive/v0.53.zip>`_.
40
41After downloading the library, the user needs to unpack and compile it
42on their system before building DPDK:
43
44.. code-block:: console
45
46    make
47    make install
48
49As a reference, the following table shows a mapping between the past DPDK versions
50and the external crypto libraries supported by them:

64Initialization
65--------------
66
67In order to enable this virtual crypto PMD, user must:
68
69* Build the multi buffer library (explained in Installation section).
70
71* Build DPDK as follows:
72
73.. code-block:: console
74
75	make config T=x86_64-native-linux-gcc
76	sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_ZUC\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
77	make
78
79To use the PMD in an application, user must:
80
81* Call rte_vdev_init("crypto_zuc") within the application.
82
83* Use --vdev="crypto_zuc" in the EAL options, which will call rte_vdev_init() internally.
84
85The following parameters (all optional) can be provided in the previous two calls:
86
87* socket_id: Specify the socket where the memory for the device is going to be allocated
88  (by default, socket_id will be the socket where the core that is creating the PMD is running on).
89
90* max_nb_queue_pairs: Specify the maximum number of queue pairs in the device (8 by default).
91
92* max_nb_sessions: Specify the maximum number of sessions that can be created (2048 by default).
93
94Example:
95
96.. code-block:: console
97
98    ./l2fwd-crypto -l 1 -n 4 --vdev="crypto_zuc,socket_id=0,max_nb_sessions=128" \
99    -- -p 1 --cdev SW --chain CIPHER_ONLY --cipher_algo "zuc-eea3"
