This
is the 03.00.00 release of the SA LLD 3GPP Enabler to be used with KeyStone2
devices.
This package containing SA 3GPP Enabler is designed to be used along with SA LLD package,
delviered as part of MCSDK 3.1 (or higher) to enable 3GPP functionalities.
SA LLD should be used by drivers and applications that
interface with the Security Accelerator (SA) within NetCP, which provides
hardware engines to perform encryption, decryption, and authentication
operations on packets for commonly supported protocols, including IPsec ESP and
AH, SRTP, and Air Cipher. The SA also provides the hardware modules to assist
the host in generating public keys and random numbers. The SA LLD provides
software building block to implement the security network applications
including IPSEC, SRTP and 3GPP Air Ciphering on TI KeyStone devices. It also provides examples and unit
tests to facilitate the integration and testing of network security protocols.
The SA LLD builds on Multicore Software Development Kit (MCSDK) to achieve
platform abstraction, networking, and inter-core communication.
Although SASS supports 3GPP specific Ciphering and
Authentication algorithms such as Kasumi F8/F9 and Snow3G F8, those algorithms are locked out in this standard SA LLD
distribution. In order to access 3GPP specific functionalities, one must obtain
ETSI licensing as described at https://www.etsi.org/services/security-algorithms/cellular-algorithms and then download the SASS 3GPP Enabler package from TI.
For further information on the SA and SA LLD,
please refer to the Keystone Architecture
Security Accelerator User Guide at: https://www.ti.com/general/docs/lit/getliterature.tsp?baseLiteratureNumber=sprugy6
Supported
Platforms
The Security Accelerator Low
Level Driver (SA LLD) requires encryption-enabled KeyStone
devices or encryption-enabled KeyStone Evaluation
Modules (EVMs). It will not execute on KeyStone
devices and EVMs that do not support the Security Accelerator
(hardware-accelerated encryption).
For a list of the most current
encryption-enabled KeyStone devices and EVMs, please
contact your local TI sales representative.
