28.Dt SAFEXCEL 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm safexcel
32.Nd Inside Secure SafeXcel-IP-97 security packet engine
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 safexcel"
41.Ed
42.Pp
43Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44module at boot time, place the following line in
45.Xr loader.conf 5 :
46.Bd -literal -offset indent
47safexcel_load="YES"
48.Ed
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Nm
52driver implements
53.Xr crypto 4
54support for the cryptographic acceleration functions of the EIP-97 device
55found on some Marvell systems-on-chip.
56The driver can accelerate the following AES modes:
57.Pp
58.Bl -bullet -compact
59.It
60AES-CBC
61.It
62AES-CTR
63.It
64AES-XTS
65.It
66AES-GCM
67.It
68AES-CCM
69.El
70.Pp
71.Nm
72also implements SHA1 and SHA2 transforms, and can combine AES-CBC and AES-CTR
73with SHA1-HMAC and SHA2-HMAC for encrypt-then-authenticate operations.
