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