libipsec-mb(7) Linux Programmer's Manual libipsec-mb(7) NAME libipsec-mb - overview of Intel(R) Multi-Buffer Crypto for IPSec library DESCRIPTION Intel Multi-Buffer Crypto for IPsec Library provides highly-optimized soft- ware crypto implementations targeting packet processing applications such as IPsec, TLS, Wireless (RAN), Cable and MPEG DRM and provides industry- leading performance on a range of Intel(R) Processors. The library offers API crafted for applications where a buffer is subject of encryption and/or integrity operations. For best processor utilization it uses multi buffer technology for algo- rithms that don't allow multi block processing. See more in the Intel White Paper: "Fast Multi-buffer IPsec Implementations on Intel Architecture Processors". Jim Guilford, Sean Gulley, et. al. The easiest way to find it is to search the Internet for the title. More information can be found at intel-ipsec-mb. ENCRYPTION ALGORITHMS AES128-GCM, AES192-GCM, AES256-GCM, AES128-CBC, AES192-CBC, AES256-CBC, AES128-CTR, AES192-CTR, AES256-CTR, AES128-CCM, AES256-CCM, AES128-ECB, AES192-ECB, AES256-ECB, NULL, AES128-DOCSIS, AES256-DOCSIS, DES-DOCSIS, 3DES, DES, KASUMI-F8, ZUC-EEA3, ZUC-EEA3-256, SNOW3G-UEA2, AES128-CBCS, CHACHA20, CHACHA20 AEAD, SNOW-V, SNOW-V AEAD and PON-CRC-BIP. INTEGRITY ALGORITHMS AES-XCBC-96, HMAC-MD5-96, HMAC-SHA1-96, HMAC-SHA2-224_112, HMAC- SHA2-256_128, HMAC-SHA2-384_192, HMAC-SHA2-512_256, AES128-GMAC, AES192-GMAC, AES256-GMAC, NULL, AES128-CCM, AES256-CCM, AES128-CMAC-96, AES256-CMAC-96, KASUMI-F9, ZUC-EIA3, ZUC-EIA3-256, SNOW3G-UIA2, DOCSIS- CRC32, HEC, POLY1305, POLY1305 AEAD, SNOW-V AEAD, GHASH, PON-CRC-BIP as well as multiple CRC types. RECOMMENDATIONS DES algorithm should be avoided and AES encryption should be used instead. 3DES is a legacy algorithms and AES encryption is recommended to use in- stead. HMAC-MD5-96 is a legacy algorithm and HMAC-SHA1 is recommended to use in- stead. DES, 3DES and HMAC-MD5-96 are implemented in the library to support legacy applications. AES-ECB algorithm should be avoided and AES-CBC or AES-CNTR encryption should be used instead. KEY STORAGE The library doesn't offer any solution for secure key storage or storage of sensitive information. It is up to application to arrange safe storage of sensitive information. API The library offers four sets of identical API's. Each set corresponds to one architecture: SSE, AVX, AVX2 and AVX512. It comprises of init_mb_mgr, get_next_job, submit_job, get_completed_job and flush_job operations. init_mb_mgr() - initializes the instance of the multi-buffer manager get_next_job() - obtains pointer to next available job entry submit_job() - submits job for processing get_completed_job() - returns already completed jobs flush_job() - flushes multi-buffer manager and completes any outstanding operations. The basic usage of the API is presented by this pseudo code: init_mb_mgr(&mb_mgr); ... while (work_to_be_done) { job = get_next_job(&mb_mgr); /* TODO: Fill in job fields */ job = submit_job(&mb_mgr); while (job != NULL) { /* TODO: Complete processing on job */ job = get_completed_job(&mb_mgr); } } job = flush_job(&mb_mgr); while (job != NULL) { /* TODO: Complete processing on job */ job = flush_job(&mb_mgr); } The library provides more interface functions i.e. single block hash func- tions for HMAC OPAD and IPAD calculations.
