NAME

       safexcel — Inside Secure SafeXcel-IP-97 security packet engine

SYNOPSIS

       To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

             device crypto
             device cryptodev
             device safexcel

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

             safexcel_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

       The  safexcel  driver  implements  crypto(4)  support for the cryptographic acceleration functions of the
       EIP-97 device found on some Marvell systems-on-chip.  The driver can accelerate the following AES modes:

       •   AES-CBC
       •   AES-CTR
       •   AES-XTS
       •   AES-GCM
       •   AES-CCM

       safexcel also implements SHA1 and SHA2 transforms, and can combine AES-CBC and AES-CTR with SHA1-HMAC and
       SHA2-HMAC for encrypt-then-authenticate operations.

HISTORY

       The safexcel driver first appeared in FreeBSD 13.0.
