+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a framework for drivers of cryptographic hardware to register with
+the kernel so
+.Dq consumers
+(other kernel subsystems, and
+users through the
+.Pa /dev/crypto
+device) are able to make use of it.
+Drivers register with the framework the algorithms they support,
+and provide entry points (functions) the framework may call to
+establish, use, and tear down sessions.
+Sessions are used to cache cryptographic information in a particular driver
+(or associated hardware), so initialization is not needed with every request.
+Consumers of cryptographic services pass a set of
+descriptors that instruct the framework (and the drivers registered
+with it) of the operations that should be applied on the data (more
+than one cryptographic operation can be requested).
+.Pp
+Keying operations are supported as well.
+Unlike the symmetric operators described above,
+these sessionless commands perform mathematical operations using
+input and output parameters.
+.Pp
+Since the consumers may not be associated with a process, drivers may
+not
+.Xr sleep 9 .
+The same holds for the framework.
+Thus, a callback mechanism is used
+to notify a consumer that a request has been completed (the
+callback is specified by the consumer on a per-request basis).
+The callback is invoked by the framework whether the request was
+successfully completed or not.
+An error indication is provided in the latter case.
+A specific error code,
+.Er EAGAIN ,
+is used to indicate that a session number has changed and that the
+request may be re-submitted immediately with the new session number.
+Errors are only returned to the invoking function if not
+enough information to call the callback is available (meaning, there
+was a fatal error in verifying the arguments).
+For session initialization and teardown there is no callback mechanism used.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn crypto_newsession
+routine is called by consumers of cryptographic services (such as the
+.Xr ipsec 4
+stack) that wish to establish a new session with the framework.
+On success, the first argument will contain the Session Identifier (SID).
+The second argument contains all the necessary information for
+the driver to establish the session.
+The third argument indicates whether a
+hardware driver (1) should be used or not (0).
+The various fields in the
+.Vt cryptoini
+structure are:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Va cri_next"
+.It Va cri_alg
+Contains an algorithm identifier.
+Currently supported algorithms are:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width ".Dv CRYPTO_RIPEMD160_HMAC" -compact
+.It Dv CRYPTO_AES_CBC
+.It Dv CRYPTO_ARC4
+.It Dv CRYPTO_BLF_CBC
+.It Dv CRYPTO_CAMELLIA_CBC
+.It Dv CRYPTO_CAST_CBC
+.It Dv CRYPTO_DES_CBC
+.It Dv CRYPTO_3DES_CBC
+.It Dv CRYPTO_SKIPJACK_CBC
+.It Dv CRYPTO_MD5
+.It Dv CRYPTO_MD5_HMAC
+.It Dv CRYPTO_MD5_KPDK
+.It Dv CRYPTO_RIPEMD160_HMAC

+.It Dv CRYPTO_SHA2_256_HMAC
+.It Dv CRYPTO_SHA2_384_HMAC
+.It Dv CRYPTO_SHA2_512_HMAC
+.It Dv CRYPTO_NULL_HMAC
+.It Dv CRYPTO_NULL_CBC
+.El
+.It Va cri_klen
+Specifies the length of the key in bits, for variable-size key
+algorithms.
+.It Va cri_mlen
+Specifies how many bytes from the calculated hash should be copied back.
+0 means entire hash.
+.It Va cri_key
+Contains the key to be used with the algorithm.
+.It Va cri_iv
+Contains an explicit initialization vector (IV), if it does not prefix
+the data.
+This field is ignored during initialization.
+If no IV is explicitly passed (see below on details), a random IV is used
+by the device driver processing the request.
+.It Va cri_next
+Contains a pointer to another
+.Vt cryptoini
+structure.
+Multiple such structures may be linked to establish multi-algorithm sessions
+.Xr ( ipsec 4
+is an example consumer of such a feature).
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Vt cryptoini
+structure and its contents will not be modified by the framework (or
+the drivers used).
+Subsequent requests for processing that use the
+SID returned will avoid the cost of re-initializing the hardware (in
+essence, SID acts as an index in the session cache of the driver).
+.Pp
+.Fn crypto_freesession
+is called with the SID returned by
+.Fn crypto_newsession
+to disestablish the session.
+.Pp
+.Fn crypto_dispatch
+is called to process a request.
+The various fields in the
+.Vt cryptop
+structure are:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Va crp_callback"
+.It Va crp_sid
+Contains the SID.
+.It Va crp_ilen
+Indicates the total length in bytes of the buffer to be processed.
+.It Va crp_olen
+On return, contains the total length of the result.
+For symmetric crypto operations, this will be the same as the input length.
+This will be used if the framework needs to allocate a new
+buffer for the result (or for re-formatting the input).
+.It Va crp_callback
+This routine is invoked upon completion of the request, whether
+successful or not.
+It is invoked through the
+.Fn crypto_done
+routine.
+If the request was not successful, an error code is set in the
+.Va crp_etype
+field.
+It is the responsibility of the callback routine to set the appropriate
+.Xr spl 9
+level.
+.It Va crp_etype
+Contains the error type, if any errors were encountered, or zero if
+the request was successfully processed.
+If the
+.Er EAGAIN
+error code is returned, the SID has changed (and has been recorded in the
+.Va crp_sid
+field).
+The consumer should record the new SID and use it in all subsequent requests.
+In this case, the request may be re-submitted immediately.
+This mechanism is used by the framework to perform
+session migration (move a session from one driver to another, because
+of availability, performance, or other considerations).
+.Pp
+Note that this field only makes sense when examined by
+the callback routine specified in
+.Va crp_callback .
+Errors are returned to the invoker of
+.Fn crypto_process
+only when enough information is not present to call the callback
+routine (i.e., if the pointer passed is
+.Dv NULL
+or if no callback routine was specified).
+.It Va crp_flags
+Is a bitmask of flags associated with this request.
+Currently defined flags are:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Dv CRYPTO_F_CBIFSYNC"
+.It Dv CRYPTO_F_IMBUF
+The buffer pointed to by
+.Va crp_buf
+is an mbuf chain.
+.It Dv CRYPTO_F_IOV
+The buffer pointed to by
+.Va crp_buf
+is an
+.Vt uio
+structure.
+.It Dv CRYPTO_F_REL
+Must return data in the same place.
+.It Dv CRYPTO_F_BATCH
+Batch operation if possible.
+.It Dv CRYPTO_F_CBIMM
+Do callback immediately instead of doing it from a dedicated kernel thread.
+.It Dv CRYPTO_F_DONE
+Operation completed.
+.It Dv CRYPTO_F_CBIFSYNC
+Do callback immediately if operation is synchronous.
+.El
+.It Va crp_buf
+Points to the input buffer.
+On return (when the callback is invoked),
+it contains the result of the request.
+The input buffer may be an mbuf
+chain or a contiguous buffer,
+depending on
+.Va crp_flags .
+.It Va crp_opaque
+This is passed through the crypto framework untouched and is
+intended for the invoking application's use.
+.It Va crp_desc
+This is a linked list of descriptors.
+Each descriptor provides
+information about what type of cryptographic operation should be done
+on the input buffer.
+The various fields are:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Va crd_inject"
+.It Va crd_iv
+The field where IV should be provided when the
+.Dv CRD_F_IV_EXPLICIT
+flag is given.
+.It Va crd_key
+When the
+.Dv CRD_F_KEY_EXPLICIT
+flag is given, the
+.Va crd_key
+points to a buffer with encryption or authentication key.
+.It Va crd_alg
+An algorithm to use.
+Must be the same as the one given at newsession time.
+.It Va crd_klen
+The
+.Va crd_key
+key length.
+.It Va crd_skip
+The offset in the input buffer where processing should start.
+.It Va crd_len
+How many bytes, after
+.Va crd_skip ,
+should be processed.
+.It Va crd_inject
+Offset from the beginning of the buffer to insert any results.
+For encryption algorithms, this is where the initialization vector
+(IV) will be inserted when encrypting or where it can be found when
+decrypting (subject to
+.Va crd_flags ) .
+For MAC algorithms, this is where the result of the keyed hash will be
+inserted.
+.It Va crd_flags
+The following flags are defined:
+.Bl -tag -width 3n
+.It Dv CRD_F_ENCRYPT
+For encryption algorithms, this bit is set when encryption is required
+(when not set, decryption is performed).
+.It Dv CRD_F_IV_PRESENT
+For encryption algorithms, this bit is set when the IV already
+precedes the data, so the
+.Va crd_inject
+value will be ignored and no IV will be written in the buffer.
+Otherwise, the IV used to encrypt the packet will be written
+at the location pointed to by
+.Va crd_inject .
+The IV length is assumed to be equal to the blocksize of the
+encryption algorithm.
+Some applications that do special
+.Dq "IV cooking" ,
+such as the half-IV mode in
+.Xr ipsec 4 ,
+can use this flag to indicate that the IV should not be written on the packet.
+This flag is typically used in conjunction with the
+.Dv CRD_F_IV_EXPLICIT
+flag.
+.It Dv CRD_F_IV_EXPLICIT
+For encryption algorithms, this bit is set when the IV is explicitly
+provided by the consumer in the
+.Va crd_iv
+field.
+Otherwise, for encryption operations the IV is provided for by
+the driver used to perform the operation, whereas for decryption
+operations it is pointed to by the
+.Va crd_inject
+field.
+This flag is typically used when the IV is calculated
+.Dq "on the fly"
+by the consumer, and does not precede the data (some
+.Xr ipsec 4
+configurations, and the encrypted swap are two such examples).
+.It Dv CRD_F_KEY_EXPLICIT
+For encryption and authentication (MAC) algorithms, this bit is set when the key
+is explicitly provided by the consumer in the
+.Va crd_key
+field for the given operation.
+Otherwise, the key is taken at newsession time from the
+.Va cri_key
+field.
+.It Dv CRD_F_COMP
+For compression algorithms, this bit is set when compression is required (when
+not set, decompression is performed).
+.El
+.It Va CRD_INI
+This
+.Vt cryptoini
+structure will not be modified by the framework or the device drivers.
+Since this information accompanies every cryptographic
+operation request, drivers may re-initialize state on-demand
+(typically an expensive operation).
+Furthermore, the cryptographic
+framework may re-route requests as a result of full queues or hardware
+failure, as described above.
+.It Va crd_next
+Point to the next descriptor.
+Linked operations are useful in protocols such as
+.Xr ipsec 4 ,
+where multiple cryptographic transforms may be applied on the same
+block of data.
+.El
+.El
+.Pp
+.Fn crypto_getreq
+allocates a
+.Vt cryptop
+structure with a linked list of as many
+.Vt cryptodesc
+structures as were specified in the argument passed to it.
+.Pp
+.Fn crypto_freereq
+deallocates a structure
+.Vt cryptop
+and any
+.Vt cryptodesc
+structures linked to it.
+Note that it is the responsibility of the
+callback routine to do the necessary cleanups associated with the
+opaque field in the
+.Vt cryptop
+structure.
+.Pp
+.Fn crypto_kdispatch
+is called to perform a keying operation.
+The various fields in the
+.Vt cryptkop
+structure are:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Va krp_callback"
+.It Va krp_op
+Operation code, such as
+.Dv CRK_MOD_EXP .
+.It Va krp_status
+Return code.
+This
+.Va errno Ns -style
+variable indicates whether lower level reasons
+for operation failure.
+.It Va krp_iparams
+Number if input parameters to the specified operation.
+Note that each operation has a (typically hardwired) number of such parameters.
+.It Va krp_oparams
+Number if output parameters from the specified operation.
+Note that each operation has a (typically hardwired) number of such parameters.
+.It Va krp_kvp
+An array of kernel memory blocks containing the parameters.
+.It Va krp_hid
+Identifier specifying which low-level driver is being used.
+.It Va krp_callback
+Callback called on completion of a keying operation.
+.El
+.Sh DRIVER-SIDE API
+The
+.Fn crypto_get_driverid ,
+.Fn crypto_register ,
+.Fn crypto_kregister ,
+.Fn crypto_unregister ,
+.Fn crypto_unblock ,
+and
+.Fn crypto_done
+routines are used by drivers that provide support for cryptographic
+primitives to register and unregister with the kernel crypto services
+framework.
+Drivers must first use the
+.Fn crypto_get_driverid
+function to acquire a driver identifier, specifying the
+.Fa cc_flags
+as an argument (normally 0, but software-only drivers should specify
+.Dv CRYPTOCAP_F_SOFTWARE ) .
+For each algorithm the driver supports, it must then call
+.Fn crypto_register .
+The first two arguments are the driver and algorithm identifiers.
+The next two arguments specify the largest possible operator length (in bits,
+important for public key operations) and flags for this algorithm.
+The last four arguments must be provided in the first call to
+.Fn crypto_register
+and are ignored in all subsequent calls.
+They are pointers to three
+driver-provided functions that the framework may call to establish new
+cryptographic context with the driver, free already established
+context, and ask for a request to be processed (encrypt, decrypt,
+etc.); and an opaque parameter to pass when calling each of these routines.
+.Fn crypto_unregister
+is called by drivers that wish to withdraw support for an algorithm.
+The two arguments are the driver and algorithm identifiers, respectively.
+Typically, drivers for
+PCMCIA
+crypto cards that are being ejected will invoke this routine for all
+algorithms supported by the card.
+.Fn crypto_unregister_all
+will unregister all algorithms registered by a driver
+and the driver will be disabled (no new sessions will be allocated on
+that driver, and any existing sessions will be migrated to other
+drivers).
+The same will be done if all algorithms associated with a driver are
+unregistered one by one.
+.Pp
+The calling convention for the three driver-supplied routines is:
+.Pp
+.Bl -item -compact
+.It
+.Ft int
+.Fn \*[lp]*newsession\*[rp] "void *" "uint32_t *" "struct cryptoini *" ;
+.It
+.Ft int
+.Fn \*[lp]*freesession\*[rp] "void *" "uint64_t" ;
+.It
+.Ft int
+.Fn \*[lp]*process\*[rp] "void *" "struct cryptop *" ;
+.It
+.Ft int
+.Fn \*[lp]*kprocess\*[rp] "void *" "struct cryptkop *" ;
+.El
+.Pp
+On invocation, the first argument to
+all routines is an opaque data value supplied when the algorithm
+is registered with
+.Fn crypto_register .
+The second argument to
+.Fn newsession
+contains the driver identifier obtained via
+.Fn crypto_get_driverid .
+On successful return, it should contain a driver-specific session
+identifier.
+The third argument is identical to that of
+.Fn crypto_newsession .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn freesession
+routine takes as arguments the opaque data value and the SID
+(which is the concatenation of the
+driver identifier and the driver-specific session identifier).
+It should clear any context associated with the session (clear hardware
+registers, memory, etc.).
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn process
+routine is invoked with a request to perform crypto processing.
+This routine must not block, but should queue the request and return
+immediately.
+Upon processing the request, the callback routine should be invoked.
+In case of an unrecoverable error, the error indication must be placed in the
+.Va crp_etype
+field of the
+.Vt cryptop
+structure.
+When the request is completed, or an error is detected, the
+.Fn process
+routine should invoke
+.Fn crypto_done .
+Session migration may be performed, as mentioned previously.
+.Pp
+In case of a temporary resource exhaustion, the
+.Fn process
+routine may return
+.Er ERESTART
+in which case the crypto services will requeue the request, mark the driver
+as
+.Dq blocked ,
+and stop submitting requests for processing.
+The driver is then responsible for notifying the crypto services
+when it is again able to process requests through the
+.Fn crypto_unblock
+routine.
+This simple flow control mechanism should only be used for short-lived
+resource exhaustion as it causes operations to be queued in the crypto
+layer.
+Doing so is preferable to returning an error in such cases as
+it can cause network protocols to degrade performance by treating the
+failure much like a lost packet.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn kprocess
+routine is invoked with a request to perform crypto key processing.
+This routine must not block, but should queue the request and return
+immediately.
+Upon processing the request, the callback routine should be invoked.
+In case of an unrecoverable error, the error indication must be placed in the
+.Va krp_status
+field of the
+.Vt cryptkop
+structure.
+When the request is completed, or an error is detected, the
+.Fn kprocess
+routine should invoked
+.Fn crypto_kdone .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Fn crypto_register ,
+.Fn crypto_kregister ,
+.Fn crypto_unregister ,
+.Fn crypto_newsession ,
+.Fn crypto_freesession ,
+and
+.Fn crypto_unblock
+return 0 on success, or an error code on failure.
+.Fn crypto_get_driverid
+returns a non-negative value on error, and \-1 on failure.
+.Fn crypto_getreq
+returns a pointer to a
+.Vt cryptop
+structure and
+.Dv NULL
+on failure.
+.Fn crypto_dispatch
+returns
+.Er EINVAL
+if its argument or the callback function was
+.Dv NULL ,
+and 0 otherwise.
+The callback is provided with an error code in case of failure, in the
+.Va crp_etype
+field.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The cryptographic framework first appeared in

+and was written by
+.An Angelos D. Keromytis Aq Mt angelos@openbsd.org .
+.Sh BUGS
+The framework currently assumes that all the algorithms in a
+.Fn crypto_newsession
+operation must be available by the same driver.
+If that is not the case, session initialization will fail.
+.Pp
+The framework also needs a mechanism for determining which driver is
+best for a specific set of algorithms associated with a session.
+Some type of benchmarking is in order here.
+.Pp
+Multiple instances of the same algorithm in the same session are not
+supported.
+Note that 3DES is considered one algorithm (and not three
+instances of DES).
+Thus, 3DES and DES could be mixed in the same request.
