+In order to enable the ccp crypto PMD, user must set CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_CCP=y in config/common_base.
+
+To use the PMD in an application, user must:
+
+* Call rte_vdev_init("crypto_ccp") within the application.
+
+* Use --vdev="crypto_ccp" in the EAL options, which will call rte_vdev_init() internally.
+
+The following parameters (all optional) can be provided in the previous two calls:
+
+* socket_id: Specify the socket where the memory for the device is going to be allocated.
+ (by default, socket_id will be the socket where the core that is creating the PMD is running on).
+
+* max_nb_queue_pairs: Specify the maximum number of queue pairs in the device.
+
+* max_nb_sessions: Specify the maximum number of sessions that can be created (2048 by default).
+
+* ccp_auth_opt: Specify authentication operations to perform on CPU using openssl APIs.
+
+To validate ccp pmd, l2fwd-crypto example can be used with following command:
