SAFEXCEL(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual SAFEXCEL(4)
NAME
safexcel - Inside Secure SafeXcel-IP-97 cryptographic offload engine
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
kernel configuration file:
device crypto
device cryptodev
device safexcel
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
following line in loader.conf(5):
safexcel_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The safexcel driver implements crypto(4) support for the cryptographic
acceleration functions of the EIP-97 device found on some Marvell
systems-on-chip. The driver can accelerate the following AES modes:
o AES-CBC
o AES-CTR
o AES-XTS
o AES-GCM
o AES-CCM
safexcel also implements SHA1 and SHA2 transforms, and can combine AES-
CBC and AES-CTR with SHA1-HMAC and SHA2-HMAC for encrypt-then-
authenticate operations.
HARDWARE
The safexcel driver supports the cryptographic acceleration functions of
the Inside Secure EIP-97 device found on some Marvell systems-on-chip.
