Sessions typically stores information, such as, public +and private key information or domain params or prime modulus data i.e. immutable +across data sets. Crypto sessions cache this immutable data in a optimal way for the +underlying PMD and this allows further acceleration of the offload of Crypto workloads. + +Like symmetric, the Crypto device framework provides APIs to allocate and initialize +asymmetric sessions for crypto devices, where sessions are mempool objects. +It is the application's responsibility to create and manage the session mempools. +Application using both symmetric and asymmetric sessions should allocate and maintain +different sessions pools for each type. + +An application can use ``rte_cryptodev_get_asym_session_private_size()`` to +get the private size of asymmetric session on a given crypto device. This +function would allow an application to calculate the max device asymmetric +session size of all crypto devices to create a single session mempool. +If instead an application creates multiple asymmetric session mempools, +the Crypto device framework also provides ``rte_cryptodev_asym_get_header_session_size()`` to get +the size of an uninitialized session. + +Once the session mempools have been created, ``rte_cryptodev_asym_session_create()`` +is used to allocate an uninitialized asymmetric session from the given mempool. +The session then must be initialized using ``rte_cryptodev_asym_session_init()`` +for each of the required crypto devices. An asymmetric transform chain +is used to specify the operation and its parameters. See the section below for +details on transforms. + +When a session is no longer used, user must call ``rte_cryptodev_asym_session_clear()`` +for each of the crypto devices that are using the session, to free all driver +private asymmetric session data. Once this is done, session should be freed using +``rte_cryptodev_asym_session_free()`` which returns them to their mempool. + +Asymmetric Sessionless Support +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Currently asymmetric crypto framework does not support sessionless. + +Transforms and Transform Chaining +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Asymmetric Crypto transforms (``rte_crypto_asym_xform``) are the mechanism used +to specify the details of the asymmetric Crypto operation. Next pointer within +xform allows transform to be chained together. Also it is important to note that +the order in which the transforms are passed indicates the order of the chaining. + +Not all asymmetric crypto xforms are supported for chaining. Currently supported +asymmetric crypto chaining is Diffie-Hellman private key generation followed by +public generation. Also, currently API does not support chaining of symmetric and +asymmetric crypto xfroms. + +Each xform defines specific asymmetric crypto algo. Currently supported are: +* RSA +* Modular operations (Exponentiation and Inverse) +* Diffie-Hellman +* DSA +* None - special case where PMD may support a passthrough mode. More for diagnostic purpose + +See *DPDK API Reference* for details on each rte_crypto_xxx_xform struct + +Asymmetric Operations +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The asymmetric Crypto operation structure contains all the mutable data relating +to asymmetric cryptographic processing on an input data buffer. It uses either +RSA, Modular, Diffie-Hellman or DSA operations depending upon session it is attached +to. + +Every operation must carry a valid session handle which further carries information +on xform or xform-chain to be performed on op. Every xform type defines its own set +of operational params in their respective rte_crypto_xxx_op_param struct. Depending +on xform information within session, PMD picks up and process respective op_param +struct. +Unlike symmetric, asymmetric operations do not use mbufs for input/output. +They operate on data buffer of type ``rte_crypto_param``. + +See *DPDK API Reference* for details on each rte_crypto_xxx_op_param struct + +Asymmetric crypto Sample code +----------------------------- + +There's a unit test application test_cryptodev_asym.c inside unit test framework that +show how to setup and process asymmetric operations using cryptodev library. + +The following sample code shows the basic steps to compute modular exponentiation +using 1024-bit modulus length using openssl PMD available in DPDK (performing other +crypto operations is similar except change to respective op and xform setup). + +.. code-block:: c + + /* + * Simple example to compute modular exponentiation with 1024-bit key + * + */ + #define MAX_ASYM_SESSIONS 10 + #define NUM_ASYM_BUFS 10 + + struct rte_mempool *crypto_op_pool, *asym_session_pool;
