.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_find_driver
function may be called to return the specific id of the provided name.
If the specified driver could not be found, the returned id is -1.
.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.
The second argument contains all the necessary information for
the driver to establish the session.
The third argument is either a specific driver id, or one or both
of
.Dv CRYPTOCAP_F_HARDWARE ,
to select hardware devices,
or
.Dv CRYPTOCAP_F_SOFTWARE ,
to select software devices.
If both are specified, a hardware device will be returned
before a software device will be.
On success, the value pointed to by the first argument will be the
Session IDentifier (SID).
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_128_NIST_GMAC
.It Dv CRYPTO_AES_192_NIST_GMAC

.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
.Pq Nm crypto_newsession .
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_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 (that the driver
specified the
.Dv CRYPTOCAP_F_SYNC
flag).
.It Dv CRYPTO_F_ASYNC
Try to do the crypto operation in a pool of workers
if the operation is synchronous (that the driver specified the
.Dv CRYPTOCAP_F_SYNC
flag). It aims to speed up processing by dispatching crypto operations
on different processors.
.It Dv CRYPTO_F_ASYNC_KEEPORDER
Dispatch callbacks in the same order they are posted.
Only relevant if the
.Dv CRYPTO_F_ASYNC
flag is set and if the 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
When the flag
.Dv CRD_F_IV_EXPLICIT
is set, this field contains the IV.
.It Va crd_key
When the
.Dv CRD_F_KEY_EXPLICIT
flag is set, 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
The
.Va crd_inject
field specifies an offset in bytes from the beginning of the buffer.
For encryption algorithms, this may be where the IV will be inserted
when encrypting or where the IV may be found for
decryption (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
.\" This flag name has nothing to do w/ it's behavior, fix the name.
For encryption, if this bit is not set 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.
For encryption, if this bit is set, nothing is done.
For decryption, this flag has no meaning.
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
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 the offset of the IV is provided 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.
As calculating the key schedule may take a while, it is recommended that often
used keys are given their own session.
.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.
.Pp
Drivers must first use the
.Fn crypto_get_driverid
function to acquire a driver identifier, specifying the
.Fa flags
as an argument.
One of
.Dv CRYPTOCAP_F_SOFTWARE
or
.Dv CRYPTOCAP_F_HARDWARE
must be specified.
The
.Dv CRYPTOCAP_F_SYNC
may also be specified, and should be specified if the driver does all of
it's operations synchronously.
.Pp
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.
.Pp
.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.
After a call to
.Fn crypto_unregister_all
there will be no threads in either the newsession or freesession function
of the driver.
.Pp
The calling convention for the three driver-supplied routines are:
.Pp
.Bl -item -compact
.It
.Ft int
.Fn \*[lp]*newsession\*[rp] "device_t" "uint32_t *" "struct cryptoini *" ;
.It
.Ft int
.Fn \*[lp]*freesession\*[rp] "device_t" "uint64_t" ;
.It
.Ft int
.Fn \*[lp]*process\*[rp] "device_t" "struct cryptop *" "int" ;
.It
.Ft int
.Fn \*[lp]*kprocess\*[rp] "device_t" "struct cryptkop *" "int" ;
.El
.Pp
On invocation, the first argument to
all routines is the
.Fa device_t
that was provided to
.Fn crypto_get_driverid .
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 or sleep, but should queue the request and return
immediately or process the request to completion.
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 must 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
.Ox 2.7
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.
