SLIDE 3
Current State
- A handful of async PCI drivers.
- Support for on-chip acceleration.
- AEAD algorithms: CCM/GCM.
- Disk encryption algorithms.
- Mandatory self-test.
SLIDE 4
Generic Algorithms
- DMA offload similar to crypto offload.
- Reduce impact on generic code (e.g., TCP).
- New algorithms:
– memcpy: Similar to ciphers. – xor: Binary operation.
SLIDE 5
User-space API
- Why:
– Hardware management. – Certification.
- How:
– Type-agnostic. – IOV-based interface.
SLIDE 6
Misc
- New algorithms:
– Hashes. – Stream ciphers.
- User-space control interface.
