It combines functions previously +implemented in separate modules to create a modular and scalable acceleration +and assurance engine. It also implements block encryption algorithms, stream +cipher algorithms, hashing algorithms, public key algorithms, run-time +integrity checking, and a hardware random number generator. SEC performs +higher-level cryptographic operations than previous NXP cryptographic +accelerators. This provides significant improvement to system level performance. + +DPAA_SEC is one of the hardware resource in DPAA Architecture. More information +on DPAA Architecture is described in :ref:`dpaa_overview`. + +DPAA_SEC PMD is one of DPAA drivers which interacts with QBMAN to create, +configure and destroy the device instance using queue pair with CAAM portal. + +DPAA_SEC PMD also uses some of the other hardware resources like buffer pools, +queues, queue portals to store and to enqueue/dequeue data to the hardware SEC. + +Implementation +-------------- + +SEC provides platform assurance by working with SecMon, which is a companion +logic block that tracks the security state of the SOC. SEC is programmed by +means of descriptors (not to be confused with frame descriptors (FDs)) that +indicate the operations to be performed and link to the message and +associated data. SEC incorporates two DMA engines to fetch the descriptors, +read the message data, and write the results of the operations. The DMA +engine provides a scatter/gather capability so that SEC can read and write +data scattered in memory. SEC may be configured by means of software for +dynamic changes in byte ordering. The default configuration for this version +of SEC is little-endian mode. + +Features +-------- + +The DPAA PMD has support for: + +Cipher algorithms: + +* ``RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_3DES_CBC`` +* ``RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES128_CBC`` +* ``RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES192_CBC`` +* ``RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES256_CBC`` +* ``RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES128_CTR`` +* ``RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES192_CTR`` +* ``RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES256_CTR`` + +Hash algorithms: + +* ``RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA1_HMAC`` +* ``RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA224_HMAC`` +* ``RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA256_HMAC`` +* ``RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA384_HMAC`` +* ``RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA512_HMAC`` +* ``RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_MD5_HMAC`` + +AEAD algorithms: + +* ``RTE_CRYPTO_AEAD_AES_GCM`` + +Supported DPAA SoCs +-------------------- + +* LS1046A/LS1026A +* LS1043A/LS1023A + +Limitations +----------- + +* Chained mbufs are not supported. +* Hash followed by Cipher mode is not supported +* Only supports the session-oriented API implementation (session-less APIs are not supported). + +Prerequisites +------------- + +DPAA_SEC driver has similar pre-requisites as described in :ref:`dpaa_overview`. +The following dependencies are not part of DPDK and must be installed separately: + +* **NXP Linux SDK** + + NXP Linux software development kit (SDK) includes support for the family + of QorIQ® ARM-Architecture-based system on chip (SoC) processors + and corresponding boards. + + It includes the Linux board support packages (BSPs) for NXP SoCs, + a fully operational tool chain, kernel and board specific modules. + + SDK and related information can be obtained from: `NXP QorIQ SDK <http://www.nxp.com/products/software-and-tools/run-time-software/linux-sdk/linux-sdk-for-qoriq-processors:SDKLINUX>`_. + +* **DPDK Extras Scripts** + + DPAA based resources can be configured easily with the help of ready scripts + as provided in the DPDK Extras repository. + + `DPDK Extras Scripts <https://github.com/qoriq-open-source/dpdk-extras>`_. + +Currently supported by DPDK: + +* NXP SDK **2.0+**. +* Supported architectures: **arm64 LE**. + +* Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment. + +Pre-Installation Configuration +------------------------------ + +Config File Options +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Basic DPAA config file options are described in :ref:`dpaa_overview`. +In addition to those, the following options can be modified in the ``config`` file +to enable DPAA_SEC PMD. + +Please note that enabling debugging options may affect system performance. + +* ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_DPAA_SEC`` (default ``n``) + By default it is only enabled in defconfig_arm64-dpaa-* config. + Toggle compilation of the ``librte_pmd_dpaa_sec`` driver. + +* ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_DPAA_SEC_DEBUG_INIT`` (default ``n``) + Toggle display of initialization related driver messages + +* ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_DPAA_SEC_DEBUG_DRIVER`` (default ``n``) + Toggle display of driver runtime messages + +* ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_DPAA_SEC_DEBUG_RX`` (default ``n``) + Toggle display of receive fast path run-time message + +* ``CONFIG_RTE_DPAA_SEC_PMD_MAX_NB_SESSIONS`` + By default it is set as 2048 in defconfig_arm64-dpaa-* config. + It indicates Number of sessions to create in the session memory pool + on a single DPAA SEC device. + +Installations +------------- +To compile the DPAA_SEC PMD for Linux arm64 gcc target, run the +following ``make`` command: + +.. code-block:: console + + cd <DPDK-source-directory> + make config T=arm64-dpaa-linuxapp-gcc install |
