28.Dt PADLOCK 4 i386
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm padlock
32.Nd "driver for the cryptographic functions and RNG in VIA C3 and Eden processors"
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel,
35place the following lines in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "device crypto"
39.Cd "device padlock"
40.Ed
41.Pp
42Alternatively, to load the driver as a
43module at boot time, place the following line in
44.Xr loader.conf 5 :
45.Bd -literal -offset indent
46padlock_load="YES"
47.Ed
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The C3 and Eden processor series from VIA include hardware acceleration for
50AES, as well as a hardware random number generator.
51.Pp
52The
53.Nm
54driver registers itself to accelerate AES operations for
55.Xr crypto 4 .
56It also registers itself to accelerate various HMAC algorithms, but there is no
57hardware acceleration for those algorithms, this is only needed, so
58.Nm
59can work with
60.Xr fast_ipsec 4 .
61.Pp
62The hardware random number generator supplies data for the kernel
63.Xr random 4
64subsystem.
65.Sh HISTORY
66The
67.Nm
68driver first appeared in
69.Ox .
70The first
71.Fx
72release to include it was
73.Fx 6.0 .
