.Sh NAME
.Nm crypto_asym
.Nd asymmetric cryptographic operations
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In opencrypto/cryptodev.h
.Ft int
.Fn crypto_kdispatch "struct cryptkop *krp"
.Ft void
.Fn crypto_kdone "struct cryptkop *krp"
.Ft int
.Fn crypto_kregister "uint32_t driverid" "int kalg" "uint32_t flags"
.Ft int
.Fn CRYPTODEV_KPROCESS "device_t dev" "struct cryptop *krp" "int flags"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The in-kernel cryptographic kernel framework supports asymmetric
requests (keying requests) in addition to symmetric operations.
There are currently no in-kernel users of these requests,
but applications can make requests of hardware drivers via the
.Pa /dev/crypto
device .
.Pp
Some APIs are shared with the framework's symmetric request support.
This manual describes the APIs and data structures unique to
asymmetric requests.
.Pp
.Ss Request Objects
A request is described by a
.Vt struct cryptkop
containing the following fields:
.Bl -tag -width "krp_callback"
.It Fa krp_op
Operation to perform.
Available operations include
.Dv CRK_MOD_EXP ,
.Dv CRK_MOD_EXP_CRT ,
.Dv CRK_DSA_SIGN ,
.Dv CRK_DSA_VERIFY ,
and
.Dv CRK_DH_COMPUTE_KEY .
.It Fa krp_status
Error status.
Either zero on success,
or an error if an operation fails.
Set by drivers prior to completing a request via
.Fn crypto_kdone .
.It Fa krp_iparams
Count of input parameters.
.It Fa krp_oparams
Count of output parameters.
.It Fa krp_crid
Requested device.
.It Fa krp_hid
Device used to complete the request.
.It Fa krp_param
Array of parameters.
The array contains the input parameters first followed by the output
parameters.
Each parameter is stored as a bignum.
Each bignum is described by a
.Vt struct crparam
containing the following fields:
.Bl -tag -width "crp_nbits"
.It Fa crp_p
Pointer to array of packed bytes.
.It Fa crp_nbits
Size of bignum in bits.
.El
.It Fa krp_callback
Callback function.
This must point to a callback function of type
.Vt void (*)(struct cryptkop *) .
The callback function should inspect
.Fa krp_status
to determine the status of the completed operation.
.El
.Pp
New requests should be initialized to zero before setting fields to
appropriate values.
Once the request has been populated,
it should be passed to
.Fn crypto_kdispatch .
.Pp
.Fn crypto_kdispatch
will choose a device driver to perform the operation described by
.Fa krp
and invoke that driver's
.Fn CRYPTO_KPROCESS
method.
.Ss Driver API
Drivers register support for asymmetric operations by calling
.Fn crypto_kregister
for each supported algorithm.
.Fa driverid
should be the value returned by an earlier call to
.Fn crypto_get_driverid .
.Fa kalg
should list one of the operations that can be set in
.Fa krp_op .
.Fa flags
is a bitmask of zero or more of the following values:
.Bl -tag -width "CRYPTO_ALG_FLAG_RNG_ENABLE"
.It Dv CRYPTO_ALG_FLAG_RNG_ENABLE
Device has a hardware RNG for DH/DSA.
.It Dv CRYPTO_ALG_FLAG_DSA_SHA
Device can compute a SHA digest of a message.
.El
.Pp
Drivers unregister with the framework via
.Fn crypto_unregister_all .
.Pp
Similar to
.Fn CRYPTO_PROCESS ,
.Fn CRYPTO_KPROCESS
should complete the request or schedule it for asynchronous
completion.
If this method is not able to complete a request due to insufficient
resources,
it can defer the request (and future asymmetric requests) by returning
.Dv ERESTART .
Once resources are available,
the driver should invoke
.Fn crypto_unblock
with
.Dv CRYPTO_ASYMQ
to resume processing of asymmetric requests.
.Pp
Once a request is completed,
the driver should set
.Fa krp_status
and then call
.Fn crypto_kdone .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn crypto_kdispatch ,
.Fn crypto_kregister ,
and
.Fn CRYPTODEV_KPROCESS
return zero on success or an error on failure.
