The +library defines generic APIs to create and free security sessions which can +support full protocol offload as well as inline crypto operation with +NIC or crypto devices. The framework currently only supports the IPSec protocol +and associated operations, other protocols will be added in future. + +Design Principles +----------------- + +The security library provides an additional offload capability to an existing +crypto device and/or ethernet device. + +.. code-block:: console + + +---------------+ + | rte_security | + +---------------+ + \ / + +-----------+ +--------------+ + | NIC PMD | | CRYPTO PMD | + +-----------+ +--------------+ + +The supported offload types are explained in the sections below. + +Inline Crypto +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +RTE_SECURITY_ACTION_TYPE_INLINE_CRYPTO: +The crypto processing for security protocol (e.g. IPSec) is processed +inline during receive and transmission on NIC port. The flow based +security action should be configured on the port. + +Ingress Data path - The packet is decrypted in RX path and relevant +crypto status is set in Rx descriptors. After the successful inline +crypto processing the packet is presented to host as a regular Rx packet +however all security protocol related headers are still attached to the +packet. e.g. In case of IPSec, the IPSec tunnel headers (if any), +ESP/AH headers will remain in the packet but the received packet +contains the decrypted data where the encrypted data was when the packet +arrived. The driver Rx path check the descriptors and and based on the +crypto status sets additional flags in the rte_mbuf.ol_flags field. + +.. note:: + + The underlying device may not support crypto processing for all ingress packet + matching to a particular flow (e.g. fragmented packets), such packets will + be passed as encrypted packets. It is the responsibility of application to + process such encrypted packets using other crypto driver instance. + +Egress Data path - The software prepares the egress packet by adding +relevant security protocol headers. Only the data will not be +encrypted by the software. The driver will accordingly configure the +tx descriptors.

The flow based +security action should be configured on the port. + +Ingress Data path - The packet is decrypted in the RX path and relevant +crypto status is set in the Rx descriptors. After the successful inline +crypto processing the packet is presented to the host as a regular Rx packet +but all security protocol related headers are optionally removed from the +packet. e.g. in the case of IPSec, the IPSec tunnel headers (if any), +ESP/AH headers will be removed from the packet and the received packet +will contains the decrypted packet only. The driver Rx path checks the +descriptors and based on the crypto status sets additional flags in +``rte_mbuf.ol_flags`` field. + +.. note:: + + The underlying device in this case is stateful. It is expected that + the device shall support crypto processing for all kind of packets matching + to a given flow, this includes fragmented packets (post reassembly). + E.g. in case of IPSec the device may internally manage anti-replay etc. + It will provide a configuration option for anti-replay behavior i.e. to drop + the packets or pass them to driver with error flags set in the descriptor. + +Egress Data path - The software will send the plain packet without any +security protocol headers added to the packet. The driver will configure +the security index and other requirement in tx descriptors. +The hardware device will do security processing on the packet that includes +adding the relevant protocol headers and encrypting the data before sending +the packet out. The software should make sure that the buffer +has required head room and tail room for any protocol header addition. The +software may also do early fragmentation if the resultant packet is expected +to cross the MTU size. + + +.. note:: + + The underlying device will manage state information required for egress + processing. E.g. in case of IPSec, the seq number will be added to the + packet, however the device shall provide indication when the sequence number + is about to overflow.

It returns an array of ``rte_security_capability`` structures +which contains all the capabilities for that device. + +Security Session Create/Free +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Security Sessions are created to store the immutable fields of a particular Security +Association for a particular protocol which is defined by a security session +configuration structure which is used in the operation processing of a packet flow. +Sessions are used to manage protocol specific information as well as crypto parameters. +Security sessions cache this immutable data in a optimal way for the underlying PMD +and this allows further acceleration of the offload of Crypto workloads. + +The Security framework provides APIs to create and free sessions for crypto/ethernet +devices, where sessions are mempool objects. It is the application's responsibility +to create and manage the session mempools. The mempool object size should be able to +accommodate the driver's private data of security session. + +Once the session mempools have been created, ``rte_security_session_create()`` +is used to allocate and initialize a session for the required crypto/ethernet device. + +Session APIs need a parameter ``rte_security_ctx`` to identify the crypto/ethernet +security ops. This parameter can be retreived using the APIs +``rte_cryptodev_get_sec_ctx()`` (for crypto device) or ``rte_eth_dev_get_sec_ctx`` +(for ethernet port). + +Sessions already created can be updated with ``rte_security_session_update()``. + +When a session is no longer used, the user must call ``rte_security_session_destroy()`` +to free the driver private session data and return the memory back to the mempool. + +For look aside protocol offload to hardware crypto device, the ``rte_crypto_op`` +created by the application is attached to the security session by the API +``rte_security_attach_session()``. + +For Inline Crypto and Inline protocol offload, device specific defined metadata is +updated in the mbuf using ``rte_security_set_pkt_metadata()`` if +``DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_SEC_NEED_MDATA`` is set. + +Security session configuration +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Security Session configuration structure is defined as ``rte_security_session_conf`` + +.. code-block:: c + + struct rte_security_session_conf { + enum rte_security_session_action_type action_type; + /**< Type of action to be performed on the session */ + enum rte_security_session_protocol protocol; + /**< Security protocol to be configured */ + union { + struct rte_security_ipsec_xform ipsec; + struct rte_security_macsec_xform macsec; + }; + /**< Configuration parameters for security session */ + struct rte_crypto_sym_xform *crypto_xform; + /**< Security Session Crypto Transformations */ + }; + +The configuration structure reuses the ``rte_crypto_sym_xform`` struct for crypto related +configuration.
