29.Dt SAFE 4
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm safe
33.Nd SafeNet crypto accelerator
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35To compile this driver into the kernel,
36place the following lines in your
37kernel configuration file:
38.Bd -ragged -offset indent
39.Cd "device crypto"
40.Cd "device cryptodev"
41.Cd "device safe"
42.Ed
43.Pp
44Alternatively, to load the driver as a
45module at boot time, place the following line in
46.Xr loader.conf 5 :
47.Bd -literal -offset indent
48safe_load="YES"
49.Ed
50.Pp
51.Nm sysctl Va hw.safe.debug
52.Nm sysctl Va hw.safe.dump
53.Nm sysctl Va hw.safe.rnginterval
54.Nm sysctl Va hw.safe.rngbufsize
55.Nm sysctl Va hw.safe.rngmaxalarm
56.Sh DESCRIPTION
57The
58.Nm
59driver supports cards containing SafeNet crypto accelerator chips.
60.Pp
61The
62.Nm
63driver registers itself to accelerate DES, Triple-DES, AES, MD5-HMAC,
64SHA1-HMAC, and NULL operations for
65.Xr ipsec 4
66and
67.Xr crypto 4 .
68.Pp
69On all models, the driver registers itself to provide random data to the
70.Xr random 4
71subsystem.
72Periodically the driver will poll the hardware RNG and retrieve
73data for use by the system.
74If the driver detects that the hardware RNG is resonating with any local
75signal, it will reset the oscillators that generate random data.
76Three
77.Xr sysctl 8
78settings control this procedure:
79.Va hw.safe.rnginterval
80specifies the time, in seconds, between polling operations,
81.Va hw.safe.rngbufsize
82specifies the number of 32-bit words to retrieve on each poll,
83and
84.Va hw.safe.rngmaxalarm
85specifies the threshold for resetting the oscillators.
86.Pp
87When the driver is compiled with
88.Dv SAFE_DEBUG
89defined, two
90.Xr sysctl 8
91variables are provided for debugging purposes:
92.Va hw.safe.debug
93can be set to a non-zero value to enable debugging messages to be sent
94to the console for each cryptographic operation,
95.Va hw.safe.dump
96is a write-only variable that can be used to force driver state to be sent
97to the console.
98Set this variable to
99.Dq Li ring
100to dump the current state of the descriptor ring,
101to
102.Dq Li dma
103to dump the hardware DMA registers,
104or
105to
106.Dq Li int
107to dump the hardware interrupt registers.
108.Sh HARDWARE
109The
110.Nm
111driver supports cards containing any of the following chips:
112.Bl -tag -width "SafeNet 1141" -offset indent
113.It SafeNet 1141
114The original chipset.
115Supports DES, Triple-DES, AES, MD5, and SHA-1
116symmetric crypto operations, RNG, public key operations, and full IPsec
117packet processing.
118.It SafeNet 1741
119A faster version of the 1141.
