33.Os
34.Sh NAME
35.Nm crypto ,
36.Nm cryptodev
37.Nd hardware crypto access driver
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Cd device crypto
40.Cd device cryptodev
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Nm
44driver provides a device-independent framework to support
45cryptographic operations in the kernel.
46The
47.Nm cryptodev
48driver provides userland applications access to this support
49through the
50.Pa /dev/crypto
51device.
52This node primarily operates in an
53.Xr ioctl 2
54based model, permitting a variety of applications to query device capabilities,
55submit transactions, and get results.
56.Pp
57If
58.Ar count
59given in the specification, and is greater than 0, a maximum of one
60.Nm
61device is created.
62.Pp
63The following
64.Xr ioctl 2
65calls apply only to the
66.Nm
67devices:
68.Bl -tag -width ".Dv CIOCGSESSION"
69.It Dv CIOCGSESSION
70Setup a new crypto session for a new type of operation.
71.It Dv CIOCFSESSION
72Free a previously established session.
73.It Dv CIOCCRYPT
74Perform a crypto operation against a previously setup session.
75.El
76.Sh FEATURES
77Depending on hardware being present, the following symmetric and
78asymmetric cryptographic features are potentially available from
79.Pa /dev/crypto :
