+SNOW 3G Crypto Poll Mode Driver
+===============================
+
+The SNOW 3G PMD (**librte_pmd_snow3g**) provides poll mode crypto driver
+support for utilizing Intel Libsso library, which implements F8 and F9 functions
+for SNOW 3G UEA2 cipher and UIA2 hash algorithms.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+SNOW 3G PMD has support for:
+
+Cipher algorithm:
+
+* RTE_CRYPTO_SYM_CIPHER_SNOW3G_UEA2
+
+Authentication algorithm:
+
+* RTE_CRYPTO_SYM_AUTH_SNOW3G_UIA2
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+* Chained mbufs are not supported.
+* Snow3g(UEA2) supported only if cipher length, cipher offset fields are byte-aligned.
+* Snow3g(UIA2) supported only if hash length, hash offset fields are byte-aligned.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+To build DPDK with the SNOW3G_PMD the user is required to download
+the export controlled ``libsso`` library, by requesting it from
+`<https://networkbuilders.intel.com/network-technologies/dpdk>`_,
+and compiling it on their system before building DPDK::
+
+ make -f Makefile_snow3g
+
+**Note**: If using a gcc version higher than 5.0, and compilation fails, apply the following patch:
+
+.. code-block:: diff
+
+ /libsso/src/snow3g/sso_snow3g.c
+
+ static inline void ClockFSM_4(sso_snow3gKeyState4_t *pCtx, __m128i *data)
+ {
+ __m128i F, R;
+ - uint32_t K, L;
+ + uint32_t K;
+ + /* Declare unused if SNOW3G_WSM/SNB are defined */
+ + uint32_t L __attribute__ ((unused)) = 0;
+
+ F = _mm_add_epi32(pCtx->LFSR_X[15], pCtx->FSM_X[0]);
+ R = _mm_xor_si128(pCtx->LFSR_X[5], pCtx->FSM_X[2]);
+
+ /libsso/include/sso_snow3g_internal.h
+
+ -inline void ClockFSM_1(sso_snow3gKeyState1_t *pCtx, uint32_t *data);
+ -inline void ClockLFSR_1(sso_snow3gKeyState1_t *pCtx);
+ -inline void sso_snow3gStateInitialize_1(sso_snow3gKeyState1_t * pCtx, sso_snow3g_key_schedule_t *pKeySched, uint8_t *pIV);
+ +void ClockFSM_1(sso_snow3gKeyState1_t *pCtx, uint32_t *data);
+ +void ClockLFSR_1(sso_snow3gKeyState1_t *pCtx);
+ +void sso_snow3gStateInitialize_1(sso_snow3gKeyState1_t * pCtx, sso_snow3g_key_schedule_t *pKeySched, uint8_t *pIV);
+
+
+Initialization
+--------------
+
+In order to enable this virtual crypto PMD, user must:
+
+* Export the environmental variable LIBSSO_PATH with the path where
+ the library was extracted.
+
+* Build the LIBSSO library (explained in Installation section).
+
+* Set CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_SNOW3G=y in config/common_base.
+
+To use the PMD in an application, user must:
+
+* Call rte_eal_vdev_init("cryptodev_snow3g_pmd") within the application.
+
+* Use --vdev="cryptodev_snow3g_pmd" in the EAL options, which will call rte_eal_vdev_init() internally.
+
+The following parameters (all optional) can be provided in the previous two calls:
+
+* socket_id: Specify the socket where the memory for the device is going to be allocated
+ (by default, socket_id will be the socket where the core that is creating the PMD is running on).
+
+* max_nb_queue_pairs: Specify the maximum number of queue pairs in the device (8 by default).
+
+* max_nb_sessions: Specify the maximum number of sessions that can be created (2048 by default).
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./l2fwd-crypto -c 40 -n 4 --vdev="cryptodev_snow3g_pmd,socket_id=1,max_nb_sessions=128"
