CRYPTO(4)             DragonFly Kernel Interfaces Manual             CRYPTO(4)

NAME
     crypto, cryptodev -- hardware crypto access driver

SYNOPSIS
     device crypto
     device cryptodev

DESCRIPTION
     The crypto driver provides a device-independent framework to support
     cryptographic operations in the kernel.  The cryptodev driver provides
     userland applications access to this support through the /dev/crypto
     device.  This node primarily operates in an ioctl(2) based model,
     permitting a variety of applications to query device capabilities, submit
     transactions, and get results.

     If count given in the specification, and is greater than 0, a maximum of
     one crypto device is created.

     The following ioctl(2) calls apply only to the crypto devices:

     CIOCGSESSION  Setup a new crypto session for a new type of operation.

     CIOCFSESSION  Free a previously established session.

     CIOCCRYPT     Perform a crypto operation against a previously setup
                   session.

FEATURES
     Depending on hardware being present, the following symmetric and
     asymmetric cryptographic features are potentially available from
     /dev/crypto:
