The library provides software crypto acceleration primarily targeting packet processing applications. It can be used for application such as: IPsec, TLS, Wireless (RAN), Cable or MPEG DRM.
The library is used as software crypto provider in DPDK, Intel(R) QAT Engine and FD.io.
Using crypto interfaces from the above frameworks gives freedom to change providers without subsequent application modifications. The library can also be used directly through its native API.
Key differentiating features:
- operation chaining (encryption and authentication)
- advanced cryptographic pipelining
- job manager with scheduling and dispatching functions
- API hides underlying implementation details from an application
- multi-buffer and function stitching innovations
- low level implementations using latest instruction extensions
