31Cryptography Device Library
32===========================
33
34The cryptodev library provides a Crypto device framework for management and
35provisioning of hardware and software Crypto poll mode drivers, defining generic
36APIs which support a number of different Crypto operations. The framework
37currently only supports cipher, authentication, chained cipher/authentication
38and AEAD symmetric Crypto operations.
39
40
41Design Principles
42-----------------
43
44The cryptodev library follows the same basic principles as those used in DPDKs
45Ethernet Device framework. The Crypto framework provides a generic Crypto device
46framework which supports both physical (hardware) and virtual (software) Crypto
47devices as well as a generic Crypto API which allows Crypto devices to be
48managed and configured and supports Crypto operations to be provisioned on
49Crypto poll mode driver.

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

499The API does not place a limit on the number of transforms that can be chained
500together but this will be limited by the underlying Crypto device poll mode
501driver which is processing the operation.

506Symmetric Operations
507~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
508
509The symmetric Crypto operation structure contains all the mutable data relating
510to performing symmetric cryptographic processing on a referenced mbuf data
511buffer. It is used for either cipher, authentication, AEAD and chained
512operations.
513
514As a minimum the symmetric operation must have a source data buffer (``m_src``),
515a valid session (or transform chain if in session-less mode) and the minimum
516authentication/ cipher/ AEAD parameters required depending on the type of operation
517specified in the session or the transform
518chain.

576Sample code
577-----------
578
579There are various sample applications that show how to use the cryptodev library,
580such as the L2fwd with Crypto sample application (L2fwd-crypto) and
581the IPSec Security Gateway application (ipsec-secgw).
582
583While these applications demonstrate how an application can be created to perform
584generic crypto operation, the required complexity hides the basic steps of
585how to use the cryptodev APIs.
586
587The following sample code shows the basic steps to encrypt several buffers
588with AES-CBC (although performing other crypto operations is similar),
589using one of the crypto PMDs available in DPDK.
