dca - Crypto Accelerator device driver SYNOPSIS
pci108e,5454@pci-slot pci108e,5455@pci-slot pci108e,5456@pci-slot pci14e4,5820@pci-slot pci14e4,5821@pci-slot pci14e4,5822@pci-slot DESCRIPTION
The dca device driver is a multi-threaded, loadable hardware driver supporting Sun PCI-based (pci108e,5454) cryptographic accelerators, such as the Sun Crypto Accelerator 1000. The dca driver requires the presence of Solaris Cryptographic Framework for applications and kernel clients to access the provided ser- vices. EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
The dca driver maintains the following statistics: 3desjobs Total number of jobs submitted to the device for 3DES encryption. 3desbytes Total number of bytes submitted to the device for 3DES encryption. rsapublic Total number of jobs submitted to the device for RSA public key operations. rsaprivate Total number of jobs submitted to the device for RSA private key operations. dsasign Total number of jobs submitted to the device for DSA signing. dsaverify Total number of jobs submitted to the device for DSA verification. rngjobs Total number of jobs submitted for pure entropy generation. rngbytes Total number of bytes of pure entropy requested from the device. rngsha1jobs Total number of jobs submitted for entropy generation, with SHA-1 post-processing. rngsha1bytes Total number of bytes of entropy requested from the device, with SHA-1 post-processing. Additional statistics may be supplied for Sun support personnel, but are not useful to end users and are not documented here. The dca driver can be configured by defining properties in /kernel/drv/dca.conf which override the default settings. The following proper- ties are supported: nostats Disables the generation of statistics. This property may be used to help prevent traffic analysis, but this may inhibit sup- port personnel. rngdirect Disables the SHA-1 post-processing of generated entropy. This may give "truer" random numbers, but it may also introduce the risk of external biases influencing the distribution of generated random numbers. ATTRIBUTES

n2cp - Ultra-SPARC T2 crypto provider device driver DESCRIPTION
The n2cp device driver is a multi-threaded, loadable hardware driver supporting hardware-assisted acceleration of the following crypto- graphic operations, which are built into the Ultra-SPARC T2 CMT processor: DES: CKM_DES_CBC, CKM_DES_ECB DES3: CKM_DES3_CBC, CKM_DES3_ECB, AES: CKM_AES_CBC, CKM_AES_ECB, CKM_AES_CTR, CKM_AES_CCM, CKM_AES_GCM RC4: CKM_RC4 MD5: KM_MD5, CKM_MD5_HMAC, CKM_MD5_HMAC_GENERAL, CKM_SSL3_MD5_MAC SHA-1: CKM_SHA_1, CKM_SHA_1_HMAC, CKM_SHA_1_HMAC_GENERAL, CKM_SSL3_SHA1_MAC SHA-256:CKM_SHA256, CKM_SHA256_HMAC, CKM_SHA256_HMAC_GENERAL CONFIGURATION
You configure the n2cp driver by defining properties in the /kernel/drv/n2cp.conf which override the default settings. The following prop- erty is supported: nostats Disables the generation of statistics. The nostats property may be used to help prevent traffic analysis, how- ever, this may inhibit support personnel. CRYPTO STATISTICS
Solaris crypto drivers must implement statistics variables. The n2cp driver maintains the following statistics: cwqXstate State (online, offline, error) of respective cryptographic engine, CWQ X. cwqXsubmit Number of jobs submitted to CWQ X. cwqXqfull Number of times when submitting a job that the queue for CWQ X was full. cwqXqupdate_failure Number of submit job failures on CWQ X. des Total number of jobs submitted to device for DES operations. des3 Total number of jobs submitted to device for DES3 operations. aes Total number of jobs submitted to device for AES operations. md5 Total number of jobs submitted to device for MD5 operations. sha1 Total number of jobs submitted to device for SHA-1 operations. sha256 Total number of jobs submitted to device for SHA-256 operations. md5hmac Total number of jobs submitted to device for HMAC_MD5 operations. sha1hmac Total number of jobs submitted to device for HMAC_SHA-1 operations. sha256hmac Total number of jobs submitted to device for HMAC_SHA-256 operations. ssl3md5mac Total number of jobs submitted to device for SSL3_MAC_MD5 operations. ssl3sha1mac Total number of jobs submitted to device for SSL3_MAC_SHA-1 operations. ssl3sha256mac Total number of jobs submitted to device for SSL3_MAC_SHA-256 operations. Note - Additional statistics targeted for Sun support personnel are not documented in this manpage. FILES
