This is an alpha release of the SA LLD 2.00.00.04 to be used with KeyStone2 devices.
This package of 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/WebSite/OurServices/Algorithms/3gppalgorithms.aspx 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.
