64.Dt CRYPTO 4
65.Os
66.Sh NAME
67.Nm crypto ,
68.Nm cryptodev
69.Nd user-mode access to hardware-accelerated cryptography
70.Sh SYNOPSIS
71.Cd device crypto
72.Cd device cryptodev
73.Pp
74.In sys/ioctl.h
75.In sys/time.h
76.In crypto/cryptodev.h
77.Sh DESCRIPTION
78The
79.Nm
80driver gives user-mode applications access to hardware-accelerated
81cryptographic transforms as implemented by the
82.Xr crypto 9
83in-kernel interface.
84.Pp
85The
86.Pa /dev/crypto
87special device provides an
88.Xr ioctl 2
89based interface.
90User-mode applications open the special device and
91then issue
92.Xr ioctl 2
93calls on the descriptor.
94User-mode access to
95.Pa /dev/crypto
96is controlled by the
97.Ic kern.cryptodevallowsoft
98.Xr sysctl 8
99variable.
100If this variable is zero,
101then user-mode sessions are only permitted to use cryptography coprocessors.
102.Sh THEORY OF OPERATION
103Use of the device requires a basic series of steps:
104.Bl -enum
105.It
106Open the
107.Pa /dev/crypto
108device.
109.It
110Create a session with
111.Dv CIOCGSESSION
112or
113.Dv CIOCGSESSION2 .
114Applications will require at least one symmetric session.
115Since cipher and MAC keys are tied to sessions, many
116applications will require more.
117.It
118Submit requests, synchronously with
119.Dv CIOCCRYPT
120or
121.Dv CIOCCRYPTAEAD .
122.It
123Optionally destroy a session with
124.Dv CIOCFSESSION .
125.It
126Close the
127.Pa /dev/crypto
128device.
129This will automatically close any remaining sessions associated with the
130file desriptor.
131.El
132.Sh SYMMETRIC-KEY OPERATION
133.Nm cryptodev
134provides a context-based API
135to traditional symmetric-key encryption (or privacy) algorithms,
136keyed and unkeyed one-way hash (HMAC and MAC) algorithms,
137encrypt-then-authenticate (ETA) fused operations,
138and authenticated encryption with additional data (AEAD) operations.
139For ETA operations,
140drivers perform both a privacy algorithm and an integrity-check
141algorithm in a single pass over the data: either a fused
142encrypt/HMAC-generate operation, or a fused HMAC-verify/decrypt operation.
143Similarly, for AEAD operations,
144drivers perform either an encrypt/MAC-generate operation
145or a MAC-verify/decrypt operation.
146.Pp
147The algorithm(s) and key(s) to use are specified when a session is
148created.
149Individual requests are able to specify per-request initialization vectors
150or nonces.
151.Ss Algorithms
152For a list of supported algorithms, see
153.Xr crypto 7 .

196Create a new cryptographic session on a file descriptor for the device;
197that is, a persistent object specific to the chosen
198privacy algorithm, integrity algorithm, and keys specified in
199.Fa sessp .
200The special value 0 for either privacy or integrity
201is reserved to indicate that the indicated operation (privacy or integrity)
202is not desired for this session.
203ETA sessions specify both privacy and integrity algorithms.
204AEAD sessions specify only a privacy algorithm.
205.Pp
206Multiple sessions may be bound to a single file descriptor.
207The session ID returned in

209is supplied as a required field in the operation structure

218For non-zero privacy algorithms, the privacy algorithm
219must be specified in

233.\"
234.Pp
235Support for a specific combination of fused privacy and
236integrity-check algorithms depends on whether the underlying
237hardware supports that combination.
238Not all combinations are supported
239by all hardware, even if the hardware supports each operation as a
240stand-alone non-fused operation.

258This request is similar to CIOGSESSION except that

260requests either a specific crypto device or a class of devices (software vs
261hardware).
262The

279Request an encryption/decryption (or hash) operation.
280To encrypt, set
281.Fa cr_op-\*[Gt]op
282to
283.Dv COP_ENCRYPT .
284To decrypt, set
285.Fa cr_op-\*[Gt]op

288The field

291.Fa cr_op-\*[Gt]src ,
292.Fa cr_op-\*[Gt]dst ,
293.Fa cr_op-\*[Gt]mac ,
294.Fa cr_op-\*[Gt]iv
295supply the addresses of the input buffer, output buffer,
296one-way hash, and initialization vector, respectively.
297.Pp
298If a session is using either fused encrypt-then-authenticate or
299an AEAD algorithm,
300decryption operations require the associated hash as an input.
301If the hash is incorrect, the
302operation will fail with
303.Dv EBADMSG
304and the output buffer will remain unchanged.

342.Sh HISTORY
343The
344.Nm
345driver first appeared in
346.Ox 3.0 .
347The
348.Nm
349driver was imported to
350.Fx 5.0 .
351.Sh BUGS
352Error checking and reporting is weak.
353.Pp
354The values specified for symmetric-key key sizes to
355.Dv CIOCGSESSION
356must exactly match the values expected by
357.Xr opencrypto 9 .
358The output buffer and MAC buffers supplied to
359.Dv CIOCCRYPT
360must follow whether privacy or integrity algorithms were specified for
361session: if you request a
362.No non- Ns Dv NULL
363algorithm, you must supply a suitably-sized buffer.
