30KASUMI Crypto Poll Mode Driver
31===============================
32
33The KASUMI PMD (**librte_pmd_kasumi**) provides poll mode crypto driver
34support for utilizing Intel Libsso library, which implements F8 and F9 functions
35for KASUMI UEA1 cipher and UIA1 hash algorithms.
36
37Features
38--------
39
40KASUMI PMD has support for:
41
42Cipher algorithm:
43
44* RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_KASUMI_F8
45
46Authentication algorithm:
47
48* RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_KASUMI_F9
49
50Limitations
51-----------
52
53* Chained mbufs are not supported.
54* KASUMI(F9) supported only if hash offset and length field is byte-aligned.
55* In-place bit-level operations for KASUMI(F8) are not supported
56  (if length and/or offset of data to be ciphered is not byte-aligned).
57
58
59Installation
60------------
61
62To build DPDK with the KASUMI_PMD the user is required to download
63the export controlled ``libsso_kasumi`` library, by requesting it from
64`<https://networkbuilders.intel.com/network-technologies/dpdk>`_.
65Once approval has been granted, the user needs to log in
66`<https://networkbuilders.intel.com/dpdklogin>`_
67and click on "Kasumi Bit Stream crypto library" link, to download the library.
68After downloading the library, the user needs to unpack and compile it
69on their system before building DPDK::
70
71   make
72
73**Note**: When encrypting with KASUMI F8, by default the library
74encrypts full blocks of 8 bytes, regardless the number of bytes to
75be encrypted provided (which leads to a possible buffer overflow).
76To avoid this situation, it is necessary not to pass
773GPP_SAFE_BUFFERS as a compilation flag.
78Also, this is required when using chained operations
79(cipher-then-auth/auth-then-cipher).
80For this, in the Makefile of the library, make sure that this flag
81is commented out::
82
83  #EXTRA_CFLAGS  += -D_3GPP_SAFE_BUFFERS
84
85**Note**: To build the PMD as a shared library, the libsso_kasumi
86library must be built as follows::
87
88  make KASUMI_CFLAGS=-DKASUMI_C
89
90
91Initialization
92--------------
93
94In order to enable this virtual crypto PMD, user must:
95
96* Export the environmental variable LIBSSO_KASUMI_PATH with the path where
97  the library was extracted (kasumi folder).
98
99* Build the LIBSSO library (explained in Installation section).
100
101* Set CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_KASUMI=y in config/common_base.
102
103To use the PMD in an application, user must:
104
105* Call rte_vdev_init("crypto_kasumi") within the application.
106
107* Use --vdev="crypto_kasumi" in the EAL options, which will call rte_vdev_init() internally.
108
109The following parameters (all optional) can be provided in the previous two calls:
110
111* socket_id: Specify the socket where the memory for the device is going to be allocated
112  (by default, socket_id will be the socket where the core that is creating the PMD is running on).
113
114* max_nb_queue_pairs: Specify the maximum number of queue pairs in the device (8 by default).
115
116* max_nb_sessions: Specify the maximum number of sessions that can be created (2048 by default).
117
118Example:
119
120.. code-block:: console
121
122    ./l2fwd-crypto -l 1 -n 4 --vdev="crypto_kasumi,socket_id=0,max_nb_sessions=128" \
123    -- -p 1 --cdev SW --chain CIPHER_ONLY --cipher_algo "kasumi-f8"
124
125Extra notes on KASUMI F9
126------------------------
127
128When using KASUMI F9 authentication algorithm, the input buffer must be
129constructed according to the 3GPP KASUMI specifications (section 4.4, page 13):
130`<http://cryptome.org/3gpp/35201-900.pdf>`_.
131Input buffer has to have COUNT (4 bytes), FRESH (4 bytes), MESSAGE and DIRECTION (1 bit)
132concatenated. After the DIRECTION bit, a single '1' bit is appended, followed by
133between 0 and 7 '0' bits, so that the total length of the buffer is multiple of 8 bits.
134Note that the actual message can be any length, specified in bits.
135
136Once this buffer is passed this way, when creating the crypto operation,
137length of data to authenticate (op.sym.auth.data.length) must be the length
138of all the items described above, including the padding at the end.
139Also, offset of data to authenticate (op.sym.auth.data.offset)
140must be such that points at the start of the COUNT bytes.
