.Sh NAME
.Nm hifn
.Nd Hifn 7751/7811/7951/7955/7956/9751 crypto accelerator
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "hifn* at pci?"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver supports various cards containing the Hifn 7751, Hifn 7811, Hifn 7951,
Hifn 7955, Hifn 7956, or Hifn 9751 chipsets, such as
.Bl -tag -width namenamenamena -offset indent
.It Invertex AEON
No longer being made.
Came as 128KB SRAM model, or 2MB DRAM model.
.It Hifn 7751
Reference board with 512KB SRAM.
.It PowerCrypt
See
.Pa http://www.powercrypt.com/ .
Comes with 512KB SRAM.
.It XL-Crypt
See
.Pa http://www.powercrypt.com/ .
Only board based on 7811 (which is faster than 7751 and has
a random number generator).
.It NetSec 7751
See
.Pa http://www.netsec.net/ .
7751 board with 1MB of SRAM.
No longer in production.
.It Soekris Engineering vpn1201 and vpn1211
See
.Pa http://www.soekris.com/ .
Contains a 7951 and supports symmetric and random number operations.
.It Soekris Engineering vpn1401 and vpn1411
Contains a 7955 and supports symmetric (including AES), random number,
and modular exponentiation operations.
.It Hifn 9751
Reference board with 512KB SRAM.
This is really a Hifn 7751 which only supports compression.

The
.Tn Hifn 7751 ,
.Tn Hifn 7811 ,
.Tn Hifn 7951 ,
.Tn Hifn 7955 ,
and
.Tn Hifn 7956
chips all support acceleration of DES, Triple-DES, ARC4, MD5,
MD5-HMAC, SHA1, SHA1-HMAC, and LZS operations for
.Xr ipsec 4
and
.Xr crypto 4 .
The
.Tn Hifn 7955
and

.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
device driver appeared in
.Ox 2.7 .
.Sh BUGS
The 7751 chip starts out at initialization by only supporting compression.
A proprietary algorithm, which has been reverse engineered, is required to
unlock the cryptographic functionality of the chip.
It is possible for vendors to make boards which have a lock ID not known
to the driver, but all vendors currently just use the obvious ID which is
13 bytes of 0.
.Pp
The 7951, 7955 and 7956 have support for public key operations
which are not yet supported.
