4Cryptography Device Library
5===========================
6
7The cryptodev library provides a Crypto device framework for management and
8provisioning of hardware and software Crypto poll mode drivers, defining generic
9APIs which support a number of different Crypto operations. The framework
10currently only supports cipher, authentication, chained cipher/authentication
11and AEAD symmetric Crypto operations.
12
13
14Design Principles
15-----------------
16
17The cryptodev library follows the same basic principles as those used in DPDKs
18Ethernet Device framework. The Crypto framework provides a generic Crypto device
19framework which supports both physical (hardware) and virtual (software) Crypto
20devices as well as a generic Crypto API which allows Crypto devices to be
21managed and configured and supports Crypto operations to be provisioned on
22Crypto poll mode driver.
23
24
25Device Management
26-----------------
27
28Device Creation
29~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
30
31Physical Crypto devices are discovered during the PCI probe/enumeration of the
32EAL function which is executed at DPDK initialization, based on
33their PCI device identifier, each unique PCI BDF (bus/bridge, device,
34function). Specific physical Crypto devices, like other physical devices in DPDK
35can be white-listed or black-listed using the EAL command line options.
36
37Virtual devices can be created by two mechanisms, either using the EAL command
38line options or from within the application using an EAL API directly.
39
40From the command line using the --vdev EAL option
41
42.. code-block:: console
43
44   --vdev  'crypto_aesni_mb0,max_nb_queue_pairs=2,max_nb_sessions=1024,socket_id=0'
45
46.. Note::
47
48   * If DPDK application requires multiple software crypto PMD devices then required
49     number of ``--vdev`` with appropriate libraries are to be added.
50
51   * An Application with crypto PMD instaces sharing the same library requires unique ID.
52
53   Example: ``--vdev  'crypto_aesni_mb0' --vdev  'crypto_aesni_mb1'``
54
55Our using the rte_vdev_init API within the application code.
56
57.. code-block:: c
58
59   rte_vdev_init("crypto_aesni_mb",
60                     "max_nb_queue_pairs=2,max_nb_sessions=1024,socket_id=0")
61
62All virtual Crypto devices support the following initialization parameters:
63
64* ``max_nb_queue_pairs`` - maximum number of queue pairs supported by the device.
65* ``max_nb_sessions`` - maximum number of sessions supported by the device
66* ``socket_id`` - socket on which to allocate the device resources on.
67
68
69Device Identification
70~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
71
72Each device, whether virtual or physical is uniquely designated by two
73identifiers:
74
75- A unique device index used to designate the Crypto device in all functions
76  exported by the cryptodev API.
77
78- A device name used to designate the Crypto device in console messages, for
79  administration or debugging purposes. For ease of use, the port name includes
80  the port index.
81
82
83Device Configuration
84~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
85
86The configuration of each Crypto device includes the following operations:
87
88- Allocation of resources, including hardware resources if a physical device.
89- Resetting the device into a well-known default state.
90- Initialization of statistics counters.
91
92The rte_cryptodev_configure API is used to configure a Crypto device.
93
94.. code-block:: c
95
96   int rte_cryptodev_configure(uint8_t dev_id,
97                               struct rte_cryptodev_config *config)
98
99The ``rte_cryptodev_config`` structure is used to pass the configuration
100parameters for socket selection and number of queue pairs.
101
102.. code-block:: c
103
104    struct rte_cryptodev_config {
105        int socket_id;
106        /**< Socket to allocate resources on */
107        uint16_t nb_queue_pairs;
108        /**< Number of queue pairs to configure on device */
109    };
110
111
112Configuration of Queue Pairs
113~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
114
115Each Crypto devices queue pair is individually configured through the
116``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_setup`` API.
117Each queue pairs resources may be allocated on a specified socket.
118
119.. code-block:: c
120
121    int rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_setup(uint8_t dev_id, uint16_t queue_pair_id,
122                const struct rte_cryptodev_qp_conf *qp_conf,
123                int socket_id)
124
125    struct rte_cryptodev_qp_conf {
126        uint32_t nb_descriptors; /**< Number of descriptors per queue pair */
127    };
128
129
130Logical Cores, Memory and Queues Pair Relationships
131~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
132
133The Crypto device Library as the Poll Mode Driver library support NUMA for when
134a processor’s logical cores and interfaces utilize its local memory. Therefore
135Crypto operations, and in the case of symmetric Crypto operations, the session
136and the mbuf being operated on, should be allocated from memory pools created
137in the local memory. The buffers should, if possible, remain on the local
138processor to obtain the best performance results and buffer descriptors should
139be populated with mbufs allocated from a mempool allocated from local memory.
140
141The run-to-completion model also performs better, especially in the case of
142virtual Crypto devices, if the Crypto operation and session and data buffer is
143in local memory instead of a remote processor's memory. This is also true for
144the pipe-line model provided all logical cores used are located on the same
145processor.
146
147Multiple logical cores should never share the same queue pair for enqueuing
148operations or dequeuing operations on the same Crypto device since this would
149require global locks and hinder performance. It is however possible to use a
150different logical core to dequeue an operation on a queue pair from the logical
151core which it was enqueued on. This means that a crypto burst enqueue/dequeue
152APIs are a logical place to transition from one logical core to another in a
153packet processing pipeline.
154
155
156Device Features and Capabilities
157---------------------------------
158
159Crypto devices define their functionality through two mechanisms, global device
160features and algorithm capabilities. Global devices features identify device
161wide level features which are applicable to the whole device such as
162the device having hardware acceleration or supporting symmetric Crypto
163operations,
164
165The capabilities mechanism defines the individual algorithms/functions which
166the device supports, such as a specific symmetric Crypto cipher,
167authentication operation or Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data
168(AEAD) operation.
169
170
171Device Features
172~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
173
174Currently the following Crypto device features are defined:
175
176* Symmetric Crypto operations
177* Asymmetric Crypto operations
178* Chaining of symmetric Crypto operations
179* SSE accelerated SIMD vector operations
180* AVX accelerated SIMD vector operations
181* AVX2 accelerated SIMD vector operations
182* AESNI accelerated instructions
183* Hardware off-load processing
184
185
186Device Operation Capabilities
187~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
188
189Crypto capabilities which identify particular algorithm which the Crypto PMD
190supports are  defined by the operation type, the operation transform, the
191transform identifier and then the particulars of the transform. For the full
192scope of the Crypto capability see the definition of the structure in the
193*DPDK API Reference*.
194
195.. code-block:: c
196
197   struct rte_cryptodev_capabilities;
198
199Each Crypto poll mode driver defines its own private array of capabilities
200for the operations it supports. Below is an example of the capabilities for a
201PMD which supports the authentication algorithm SHA1_HMAC and the cipher
202algorithm AES_CBC.
203
204.. code-block:: c
205
206    static const struct rte_cryptodev_capabilities pmd_capabilities[] = {
207        {    /* SHA1 HMAC */
208            .op = RTE_CRYPTO_OP_TYPE_SYMMETRIC,
209            .sym = {
210                .xform_type = RTE_CRYPTO_SYM_XFORM_AUTH,
211                .auth = {
212                    .algo = RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA1_HMAC,
213                    .block_size = 64,
214                    .key_size = {
215                        .min = 64,
216                        .max = 64,
217                        .increment = 0
218                    },
219                    .digest_size = {
220                        .min = 12,
221                        .max = 12,
222                        .increment = 0
223                    },
224                    .aad_size = { 0 },
225                    .iv_size = { 0 }
226                }
227            }
228        },
229        {    /* AES CBC */
230            .op = RTE_CRYPTO_OP_TYPE_SYMMETRIC,
231            .sym = {
232                .xform_type = RTE_CRYPTO_SYM_XFORM_CIPHER,
233                .cipher = {
234                    .algo = RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES_CBC,
235                    .block_size = 16,
236                    .key_size = {
237                        .min = 16,
238                        .max = 32,
239                        .increment = 8
240                    },
241                    .iv_size = {
242                        .min = 16,
243                        .max = 16,
244                        .increment = 0
245                    }
246                }
247            }
248        }
249    }
250
251
252Capabilities Discovery
253~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
254
255Discovering the features and capabilities of a Crypto device poll mode driver
256is achieved through the ``rte_cryptodev_info_get`` function.
257
258.. code-block:: c
259
260   void rte_cryptodev_info_get(uint8_t dev_id,
261                               struct rte_cryptodev_info *dev_info);
262
263This allows the user to query a specific Crypto PMD and get all the device
264features and capabilities. The ``rte_cryptodev_info`` structure contains all the
265relevant information for the device.
266
267.. code-block:: c
268
269    struct rte_cryptodev_info {
270        const char *driver_name;
271        uint8_t driver_id;
272        struct rte_pci_device *pci_dev;
273
274        uint64_t feature_flags;
275
276        const struct rte_cryptodev_capabilities *capabilities;
277
278        unsigned max_nb_queue_pairs;
279
280        struct {
281            unsigned max_nb_sessions;
282        } sym;
283    };
284
285
286Operation Processing
287--------------------
288
289Scheduling of Crypto operations on DPDK's application data path is
290performed using a burst oriented asynchronous API set. A queue pair on a Crypto
291device accepts a burst of Crypto operations using enqueue burst API. On physical
292Crypto devices the enqueue burst API will place the operations to be processed
293on the devices hardware input queue, for virtual devices the processing of the
294Crypto operations is usually completed during the enqueue call to the Crypto
295device. The dequeue burst API will retrieve any processed operations available
296from the queue pair on the Crypto device, from physical devices this is usually
297directly from the devices processed queue, and for virtual device's from a
298``rte_ring`` where processed operations are place after being processed on the
299enqueue call.
300
301
302Private data
303~~~~~~~~~~~~
304For session-based operations, the set and get API provides a mechanism for an
305application to store and retrieve the private data information stored along with
306the crypto session.
307
308For example, suppose an application is submitting a crypto operation with a session
309associated and wants to indicate private data information which is required to be
310used after completion of the crypto operation. In this case, the application can use
311the set API to set the private data and retrieve it using get API.
312
313.. code-block:: c
314
315	int rte_cryptodev_sym_session_set_private_data(
316		struct rte_cryptodev_sym_session *sess,	void *data, uint16_t size);
317
318	void * rte_cryptodev_sym_session_get_private_data(
319		struct rte_cryptodev_sym_session *sess);
320
321
322For session-less mode, the private data information can be placed along with the
323``struct rte_crypto_op``. The ``rte_crypto_op::private_data_offset`` indicates the
324start of private data information. The offset is counted from the start of the
325rte_crypto_op including other crypto information such as the IVs (since there can
326be an IV also for authentication).
327
328
329Enqueue / Dequeue Burst APIs
330~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
331
332The burst enqueue API uses a Crypto device identifier and a queue pair
333identifier to specify the Crypto device queue pair to schedule the processing on.
334The ``nb_ops`` parameter is the number of operations to process which are
335supplied in the ``ops`` array of ``rte_crypto_op`` structures.
336The enqueue function returns the number of operations it actually enqueued for
337processing, a return value equal to ``nb_ops`` means that all packets have been
338enqueued.
339
340.. code-block:: c
341
342   uint16_t rte_cryptodev_enqueue_burst(uint8_t dev_id, uint16_t qp_id,
343                                        struct rte_crypto_op **ops, uint16_t nb_ops)
344
345The dequeue API uses the same format as the enqueue API of processed but
346the ``nb_ops`` and ``ops`` parameters are now used to specify the max processed
347operations the user wishes to retrieve and the location in which to store them.
348The API call returns the actual number of processed operations returned, this
349can never be larger than ``nb_ops``.
350
351.. code-block:: c
352
353   uint16_t rte_cryptodev_dequeue_burst(uint8_t dev_id, uint16_t qp_id,
354                                        struct rte_crypto_op **ops, uint16_t nb_ops)
355
356
357Operation Representation
358~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
359
360An Crypto operation is represented by an rte_crypto_op structure, which is a
361generic metadata container for all necessary information required for the
362Crypto operation to be processed on a particular Crypto device poll mode driver.
363
364.. figure:: img/crypto_op.*
365
366The operation structure includes the operation type, the operation status
367and the session type (session-based/less), a reference to the operation
368specific data, which can vary in size and content depending on the operation
369being provisioned. It also contains the source mempool for the operation,
370if it allocated from a mempool.
371
372If Crypto operations are allocated from a Crypto operation mempool, see next
373section, there is also the ability to allocate private memory with the
374operation for applications purposes.
375
376Application software is responsible for specifying all the operation specific
377fields in the ``rte_crypto_op`` structure which are then used by the Crypto PMD
378to process the requested operation.
379
380
381Operation Management and Allocation
382~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
383
384The cryptodev library provides an API set for managing Crypto operations which
385utilize the Mempool Library to allocate operation buffers. Therefore, it ensures
386that the crytpo operation is interleaved optimally across the channels and
387ranks for optimal processing.
388A ``rte_crypto_op`` contains a field indicating the pool that it originated from.
389When calling ``rte_crypto_op_free(op)``, the operation returns to its original pool.
390
391.. code-block:: c
392
393   extern struct rte_mempool *
394   rte_crypto_op_pool_create(const char *name, enum rte_crypto_op_type type,
395                             unsigned nb_elts, unsigned cache_size, uint16_t priv_size,
396                             int socket_id);
397
398During pool creation ``rte_crypto_op_init()`` is called as a constructor to
399initialize each Crypto operation which subsequently calls
400``__rte_crypto_op_reset()`` to configure any operation type specific fields based
401on the type parameter.
402
403
404``rte_crypto_op_alloc()`` and ``rte_crypto_op_bulk_alloc()`` are used to allocate
405Crypto operations of a specific type from a given Crypto operation mempool.
406``__rte_crypto_op_reset()`` is called on each operation before being returned to
407allocate to a user so the operation is always in a good known state before use
408by the application.
409
410.. code-block:: c
411
412   struct rte_crypto_op *rte_crypto_op_alloc(struct rte_mempool *mempool,
413                                             enum rte_crypto_op_type type)
414
415   unsigned rte_crypto_op_bulk_alloc(struct rte_mempool *mempool,
416                                     enum rte_crypto_op_type type,
417                                     struct rte_crypto_op **ops, uint16_t nb_ops)
418
419``rte_crypto_op_free()`` is called by the application to return an operation to
420its allocating pool.
421
422.. code-block:: c
423
424   void rte_crypto_op_free(struct rte_crypto_op *op)
425
426
427Symmetric Cryptography Support
428------------------------------
429
430The cryptodev library currently provides support for the following symmetric
431Crypto operations; cipher, authentication, including chaining of these
432operations, as well as also supporting AEAD operations.
433
434
435Session and Session Management
436~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
437
438Sessions are used in symmetric cryptographic processing to store the immutable
439data defined in a cryptographic transform which is used in the operation
440processing of a packet flow. Sessions are used to manage information such as
441expand cipher keys and HMAC IPADs and OPADs, which need to be calculated for a
442particular Crypto operation, but are immutable on a packet to packet basis for
443a flow. Crypto sessions cache this immutable data in a optimal way for the
444underlying PMD and this allows further acceleration of the offload of
445Crypto workloads.
446
447.. figure:: img/cryptodev_sym_sess.*
448
449The Crypto device framework provides APIs to allocate and initizalize sessions
450for crypto devices, where sessions are mempool objects.
451It is the application's responsibility to create and manage the session mempools.
452This approach allows for different scenarios such as having a single session
453mempool for all crypto devices (where the mempool object size is big
454enough to hold the private session of any crypto device), as well as having
455multiple session mempools of different sizes for better memory usage.
456
457An application can use ``rte_cryptodev_get_private_session_size()`` to
458get the private session size of given crypto device. This function would allow
459an application to calculate the max device session size of all crypto devices
460to create a single session mempool.
461If instead an application creates multiple session mempools, the Crypto device
462framework also provides ``rte_cryptodev_get_header_session_size`` to get
463the size of an uninitialized session.
464
465Once the session mempools have been created, ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_create()``
466is used to allocate an uninitialized session from the given mempool.
467The session then must be initialized using ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_init()``
468for each of the required crypto devices. A symmetric transform chain
469is used to specify the operation and its parameters. See the section below for
470details on transforms.
471
472When a session is no longer used, user must call ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_clear()``
473for each of the crypto devices that are using the session, to free all driver
474private session data. Once this is done, session should be freed using
475``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_free`` which returns them to their mempool.
476
477
478Transforms and Transform Chaining
479~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
480
481Symmetric Crypto transforms (``rte_crypto_sym_xform``) are the mechanism used
482to specify the details of the Crypto operation. For chaining of symmetric
483operations such as cipher encrypt and authentication generate, the next pointer
484allows transform to be chained together. Crypto devices which support chaining
485must publish the chaining of symmetric Crypto operations feature flag.
486
487Currently there are three transforms types cipher, authentication and AEAD.
488Also it is important to note that the order in which the
489transforms are passed indicates the order of the chaining.
490
491.. code-block:: c
492
493    struct rte_crypto_sym_xform {
494        struct rte_crypto_sym_xform *next;
495        /**< next xform in chain */
496        enum rte_crypto_sym_xform_type type;
497        /**< xform type */

508The API does not place a limit on the number of transforms that can be chained
509together but this will be limited by the underlying Crypto device poll mode
510driver which is processing the operation.

515Symmetric Operations
516~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
517
518The symmetric Crypto operation structure contains all the mutable data relating
519to performing symmetric cryptographic processing on a referenced mbuf data
520buffer. It is used for either cipher, authentication, AEAD and chained
521operations.
522
523As a minimum the symmetric operation must have a source data buffer (``m_src``),
524a valid session (or transform chain if in session-less mode) and the minimum
525authentication/ cipher/ AEAD parameters required depending on the type of operation
526specified in the session or the transform
527chain.

585Sample code
586-----------
587
588There are various sample applications that show how to use the cryptodev library,
589such as the L2fwd with Crypto sample application (L2fwd-crypto) and
590the IPSec Security Gateway application (ipsec-secgw).
591
592While these applications demonstrate how an application can be created to perform
593generic crypto operation, the required complexity hides the basic steps of
594how to use the cryptodev APIs.
595
596The following sample code shows the basic steps to encrypt several buffers
597with AES-CBC (although performing other crypto operations is similar),
598using one of the crypto PMDs available in DPDK.
