SNOW 3G Crypto Poll Mode Driver
===============================
-The SNOW 3G PMD (**librte_pmd_snow3g**) provides poll mode crypto driver
-support for utilizing Intel Libsso library, which implements F8 and F9 functions
-for SNOW 3G UEA2 cipher and UIA2 hash algorithms.
+The SNOW3G PMD (**librte_crypto_snow3g**) provides poll mode crypto driver support for
+utilizing `Intel IPSec Multi-buffer library <https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb>`_
+which implements F8 and F8 functions for SNOW 3G UEA2 cipher and UIA2 hash algorithms.
Features
--------
Cipher algorithm:
-* RTE_CRYPTO_SYM_CIPHER_SNOW3G_UEA2
+* RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_SNOW3G_UEA2
Authentication algorithm:
-* RTE_CRYPTO_SYM_AUTH_SNOW3G_UIA2
+* RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SNOW3G_UIA2
Limitations
-----------
* Chained mbufs are not supported.
+* SNOW 3G (UIA2) supported only if hash offset field is byte-aligned.
+* In-place bit-level operations for SNOW 3G (UEA2) are not supported
+ (if length and/or offset of data to be ciphered is not byte-aligned).
Installation
------------
-To build DPDK with the SNOW3G_PMD the user is required to get
-the export controlled libsso library, sending a request to
-`DPDKUser_software_access@intel.com`, and compile it
-on their user system before building DPDK:
+To build DPDK with the SNOW3G_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 v1.0, which
+can be downloaded from `<https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb/archive/v1.0.zip>`_.
+
+After downloading the library, the user needs to unpack and compile it
+on their system before building DPDK:
.. code-block:: console
- make -f Makefile_snow3g
+ 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:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./configure
+ make
+ make install
+
+.. note::
+
+ 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>`_.
+
+As a reference, the following table shows a mapping between the past DPDK versions
+and the external crypto libraries supported by them:
+
+.. _table_snow3g_versions:
+
+.. table:: DPDK and external crypto library version compatibility
+
+ ============= ================================
+ DPDK version Crypto library version
+ ============= ================================
+ 16.04 - 19.11 LibSSO SNOW3G
+ 20.02+ Multi-buffer library 0.53 - 1.0
+ ============= ================================
+
+
+Initialization
+--------------
+
+In order to enable this virtual crypto PMD, user must:
+
+* Build the multi buffer library (explained in Installation section).
+
+To use the PMD in an application, user must:
+
+* Call rte_vdev_init("crypto_snow3g") within the application.
+
+* Use --vdev="crypto_snow3g" 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 (8 by default).
+
+* max_nb_sessions: Specify the maximum number of sessions that can be created (2048 by default).
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
-The environmental variable LIBSSO_PATH must be exported with the path
-where you extracted and built the libsso library and finally set
-CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_SNOW3G=y in config/common_base.
+ ./dpdk-l2fwd-crypto -l 1 -n 4 --vdev="crypto_snow3g,socket_id=0,max_nb_sessions=128" \
+ -- -p 1 --cdev SW --chain CIPHER_ONLY --cipher_algo "snow3g-uea2"
