This
is the 02.00.04.00 release of the SA LLD 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.
