SAFE(4)

NAME
safe - SafeNet crypto accelerator

SYNOPSIS
safe* at pci?

DESCRIPTION
The safe driver supports cards containing any of the following chips:

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.

SafeNet 1741
    A faster version of the 1141.

The safe driver registers itself to accelerate DES, Triple-DES, AES, MD5-HMAC, and SHA1-HMAC operations for ipsec(4) and crypto(4).

Additionally, the driver registers with crypto(4) to accelerate modular exponentiation of up to 2048-bit operands and provides input to the random(4) subsystem.

DIAGNOSTICS

safe%d: Reduce max DMA size to %u words for rev %u.%u The 1.0 silicon has major pci(4) bugs and may lock the bus completely. There is no easy workaround.

BUGS
Early silicon revisions can wedge the PCI bus.
