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
       acceleration functions of the EIP-97 device found on some Marvell  sys-
       tems-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-authenti-
       cate operations.

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	14.3		       November	22, 2024		   SAFEXCEL(4)
