28.Dt QAT 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm qat
32.Nd Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) driver
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel,
35place the following lines in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "device crypto"
39.Cd "device cryptodev"
40.Cd "device qat"
41.Ed
42.Pp
43Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44module at boot time, place the following lines in
45.Xr loader.conf 5 :
46.Bd -literal -offset indent
47qat_load="YES"
48qat_c2xxxfw_load="YES"
49qat_c3xxxfw_load="YES"
50qat_c63xfw_load="YES"
51qat_d15xxfw_load="YES"
52qat_dh895xcc_load="YES"
53.Ed
54.Sh DESCRIPTION
55The
56.Nm
57driver implements
58.Xr crypto 4
59support for some of the cryptographic acceleration functions of the Intel
60QuickAssist device.
61The
62.Nm
63driver supports the QAT devices integrated with Atom C2000 and C3000 and Xeon
64C620 and D-1500 chipsets, and the Intel QAT Adapter 8950.
65It can accelerate AES in CBC, CTR, XTS (except for the C2000) and GCM modes,
66and can perform authenticated encryption combining the CBC, CTR and XTS modes
67with SHA1-HMAC and SHA2-HMAC.
68The
69.Nm
70driver can also compute SHA1 and SHA2 digests.

78.Sh HISTORY
79The
80.Nm
81driver first appeared in
82.Fx 13.0 .
83.Sh AUTHORS
84The
85.Nm
86driver was written for
87.Nx
88by
89.An Hikaru Abe Aq Mt hikaru@iij.ad.jp
90and ported to
91.Fx
92by
93.An Mark Johnston Aq Mt markj@FreeBSD.org .
94.Sh BUGS
95Some Atom C2000 QAT devices have two acceleration engines instead of one.
96The
97.Nm
98driver currently misbehaves when both are enabled and thus does not enable
99the second acceleration engine if one is present.
