SAFEXCEL(4)		     Kernel Interfaces Manual		     SAFEXCEL(4)

NAME
     safexcel -- Inside Secure SafeXcel-IP-97 cryptographic offload 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 ac-
     celeration 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 op-
     erations.

HARDWARE
     The safexcel driver supports the cryptographic  acceleration  functions  of
     the Inside Secure EIP-97 device found on some Marvell systems-on-chip.

SEE ALSO
     crypto(4), ipsec(4), random(4), crypto(7), geli(8), crypto(9)

HISTORY
     The safexcel driver first appeared in FreeBSD 13.0.

FreeBSD 15.1			November 22, 2024		     SAFEXCEL(4)
