I would consider myself a beginner slowly becoming an intermediate, thus my knowledge in the linux kernel and hardware aren't that great.
My question is... (1 Reply)

All,
I am a bit of a BSD newbie and haven't really played with it for years, but I have had a recent situation whereby someone attempted to load a custom kernel module and ended up breaking my BSD server.

padlock
PADLOCK(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual PADLOCK(4)
NAME
padlock -- driver for the cryptographic functions and RNG in VIA C3, C7 and Eden processors
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device crypto
device padlock
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
padlock_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The C3 and Eden processor series from VIA include hardware acceleration for AES. The C7 series includes hardware acceleration for AES, SHA1,
SHA256 and RSA. All of the above processor series include a hardware random number generator.
The padlock driver registers itself to accelerate AES operations and, if available, HMAC/SHA1 and HMAC/SHA256 for crypto(4). It also regis-
ters itself to accelerate other HMAC algorithms, although there is no hardware acceleration for those algorithms. This is only needed so
padlock can work with ipsec(4).
The hardware random number generator supplies data for the kernel random(4) subsystem.
SEE ALSO
crypt(3), crypto(4), intro(4), ipsec(4), random(4), crypto(9)
HISTORY
The padlock driver first appeared in OpenBSD. The first FreeBSD release to include it was FreeBSD 6.0.
AUTHORS
The padlock driver with AES encryption support was written by Jason Wright <jason@OpenBSD.org>. It was ported to FreeBSD and then extended
to support SHA1 and SHA256 by Pawel Jakub Dawidek <pjd@FreeBSD.org>. This manual page was written by Christian Brueffer
<brueffer@FreeBSD.org>.
