KASUMI Crypto Poll Mode Driver
===============================
-The KASUMI PMD (**librte_pmd_kasumi**) provides poll mode crypto driver
-support for utilizing Intel Libsso library, which implements F8 and F9 functions
-for KASUMI UEA1 cipher and UIA1 hash algorithms.
+The KASUMI PMD (**librte_crypto_kasumi**) provides poll mode crypto driver support for
+utilizing `Intel IPSec Multi-buffer library <https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb>`_
+which implements F8 and F9 functions for KASUMI UEA1 cipher and UIA1 hash algorithms.
Features
--------
Installation
------------
-To build DPDK with the KASUMI_PMD the user is required to download
-the export controlled ``libsso_kasumi`` library, by registering in
-`Intel Resource & Design Center <https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/design/resource-design-center.html>`_.
-Once approval has been granted, the user needs to search for
-*Kasumi F8 F9 3GPP cryptographic algorithms Software Library* to download the
-library or directly through this `link <https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/575866>`_.
+To build DPDK with the KASUMI_PMD the user is required to download the multi-buffer
+library from `here <https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb>`_
+and compile it on their user system before building DPDK.
+The latest version of the library supported by this PMD is v0.54, which
+can be downloaded from `<https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb/archive/v0.54.zip>`_.
+
After downloading the library, the user needs to unpack and compile it
-on their system before building DPDK::
+on their system before building DPDK:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+ make install
+
+The library requires NASM to be built. Depending on the library version, it might
+require a minimum NASM version (e.g. v0.54 requires at least NASM 2.14).
+
+NASM is packaged for different OS. However, on some OS the version is too old,
+so a manual installation is required. In that case, NASM can be downloaded from
+`NASM website <https://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/?C=M;O=D>`_.
+Once it is downloaded, extract it and follow these steps:
- make
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./configure
+ make
+ make install
+
+.. note::
-**Note**: When encrypting with KASUMI F8, by default the library
-encrypts full blocks of 8 bytes, regardless the number of bytes to
-be encrypted provided (which leads to a possible buffer overflow).
-To avoid this situation, it is necessary not to pass
-3GPP_SAFE_BUFFERS as a compilation flag.
-Also, this is required when using chained operations
-(cipher-then-auth/auth-then-cipher).
-For this, in the Makefile of the library, make sure that this flag
-is commented out::
+ Compilation of the Multi-Buffer library is broken when GCC < 5.0, if library <= v0.53.
+ If a lower GCC version than 5.0, the workaround proposed by the following link
+ should be used: `<https://github.com/intel/intel-ipsec-mb/issues/40>`_.
- #EXTRA_CFLAGS += -D_3GPP_SAFE_BUFFERS
+As a reference, the following table shows a mapping between the past DPDK versions
+and the external crypto libraries supported by them:
-**Note**: To build the PMD as a shared library, the libsso_kasumi
-library must be built as follows::
+.. _table_kasumi_versions:
- make KASUMI_CFLAGS=-DKASUMI_C
+.. table:: DPDK and external crypto library version compatibility

+ ============= ================================
+ DPDK version Crypto library version

+ 16.11 - 19.11 LibSSO KASUMI
+ 20.02+ Multi-buffer library 0.53 - 0.54
+ ============= ================================
Initialization
In order to enable this virtual crypto PMD, user must:
-* Export the environmental variable LIBSSO_KASUMI_PATH with the path where
- the library was extracted (kasumi folder).
-
-* Build the LIBSSO library (explained in Installation section).
-
-* Set CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_KASUMI=y in config/common_base.
+* Build the multi buffer library (explained in Installation section).
To use the PMD in an application, user must:
.. code-block:: console
- ./l2fwd-crypto -l 1 -n 4 --vdev="crypto_kasumi,socket_id=0,max_nb_sessions=128" \
+ ./dpdk-l2fwd-crypto -l 1 -n 4 --vdev="crypto_kasumi,socket_id=0,max_nb_sessions=128" \
-- -p 1 --cdev SW --chain CIPHER_ONLY --cipher_algo "kasumi-f8"
