+.Sh NAME
+.Nm safe
+.Nd SafeNet crypto accelerator
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm device safe
+.sp
+.Cd sysctl hw.safe.debug
+.Cd sysctl hw.safe.rnginterval
+.Cd sysctl hw.safe.rngbufsize
+.Cd sysctl hw.safe.rngmaxalarm
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports cards containing any of the following chips:
+.Bl -tag -width "SafeNet 1141" -offset indent
+.It SafeNet 1141
+The original chipset. Supports DES, Triple-DES, AES, MD5, and SHA-1
+symmetric crypto operations, RNG, public key operations, and full IPsec
+packet processing.
+.It SafeNet 1741
+A faster version of the 1141.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver registers itself to accelerate DES, Triple-DES, AES, MD5-HMAC,
+SHA1-HMAC, and NULL operations for
+.Xr ipsec 4
+and
+.Xr crypto 4 .
+.Pp
+On all models, the driver registers itself to provide random data to the
+.Xr random 4
+subsystem.
+Periodically the driver will poll the hardware RNG and retrieve
+data to for use by the system.
+If the driver detects that the hardware RNG is resonating with any local
+signal it will reset the oscillators that generate random data.
+Three sysctl settings control this procedure:
+.Li hw.safe.rnginterval
+specifies the time, in seconds, between polling operations,
+.Li hw.safe.rngbufsize
+specifies the number of 32-bit words to retrieve on each poll,
+and
+.Li hw.safe.rngmaxalarm
+specifies the threshold for reseting the oscillators.
+.Pp
+When the driver is compiled with
+.Dv SAFE_DEBUG
+defined, two sysctl variables are provided for debugging purposes:
+.Li hw.safe.debug
+can be set to a non-zero value to enable debugging messages to be sent
+to the console for each cryptographic operation.
+.Li hw.safe.dump
+is a write-only variable that can be used to force driver state to be sent
+to the console.
+Set this variable to
+.Li ring
+to dump the current state of the descriptor ring,
+to
+.Li dma
+to dump the hardware DMA registers,
+or
+to
+.Li int
+to dump the hardware interrupt registers.
