26.Dt SAFEXCEL 4
27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm safexcel
30.Nd Inside Secure SafeXcel-IP-97 security packet engine
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32To compile this driver into the kernel,
33place the following lines in your
34kernel configuration file:
35.Bd -ragged -offset indent
36.Cd "device crypto"
37.Cd "device cryptodev"
38.Cd "device safexcel"
39.Ed
40.Pp
41Alternatively, to load the driver as a
42module at boot time, place the following line in
43.Xr loader.conf 5 :
44.Bd -literal -offset indent
45safexcel_load="YES"
46.Ed
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50driver implements
51.Xr crypto 4
52support for the cryptographic acceleration functions of the EIP-97 device
53found on some Marvell systems-on-chip.
54The driver can accelerate the following AES modes:
55.Pp
56.Bl -bullet -compact
57.It
58AES-CBC
59.It
60AES-CTR
61.It
62AES-XTS
63.It
64AES-GCM
65.It
66AES-CCM
67.El
68.Pp
69.Nm
70also implements SHA1 and SHA2 transforms, and can combine AES-CBC and AES-CTR
71with SHA1-HMAC and SHA2-HMAC for encrypt-then-authenticate operations.
