The /dev/crypto special device provides an ioctl(2) based interface. User-mode applications open the special device and then issue ioctl(2) calls on the descriptor. User-mode access to /dev/crypto is controlled by two sysctl(8) variables: kern.userasymcrypto and kern.cryptodevallowsoft.
The crypto device provides two distinct modes of operation: one mode for symmetric-keyed cryptographic requests and digests, and a second mode for both asymmetric-key (public-key/private-key) requests and modular arithmetic (for Diffie-Hellman key exchange and other cryptographic protocols). The two modes are described separately below.
To use symmetric mode, you must first create a session specifying the algorithm(s) and key(s) to use; then issue encrypt or decrypt requests against the session.
CRIOGETint, *fd | |
Clone the fd argument to ioctl(2), yielding a new file descriptor for the creation of sessions. | |
CIOCFINDDEVstruct, crypt_find_op, *fop | |
struct crypt_find_op { int crid; /* driver id + flags */ char name[32]; /* device/driver name */ };If crid is -1, then find the driver named name and return the id in crid. If crid is not -1, return the name of the driver with crid in name. In either case, if the driver is not found, ENOENT is returned. | |
CIOCGSESSIONstruct, session_op, *sessp | |
struct session_op { u_int32_t cipher; /* e.g. CRYPTO_DES_CBC */ u_int32_t mac; /* e.g. CRYPTO_MD5_HMAC */Create a new cryptographic session on a file descriptor for the device; that is, a persistent object specific to the chosen privacy algorithm, integrity algorithm, and keys specified in sessp. The special value 0 for either privacy or integrity is reserved to indicate that the indicated operation (privacy or integrity) is not desired for this session. Multiple sessions may be bound to a single file descriptor. The session ID returned in sessp->ses is supplied as a required field in the symmetric-operation structure crypt_op for future encryption or hashing requests. For non-zero symmetric-key privacy algorithms, the privacy algorithm must be specified in sessp->cipher, the key length in sessp->keylen, and the key value in the octets addressed by sessp->key. For keyed one-way hash algorithms, the one-way hash must be specified in sessp->mac, the key length in sessp->mackey, and the key value in the octets addressed by sessp->mackeylen. Support for a specific combination of fused privacy and integrity-check algorithms depends on whether the underlying hardware supports that combination. Not all combinations are supported by all hardware, even if the hardware supports each operation as a stand-alone non-fused operation. | |
CIOCGSESSION2struct, session2_op, *sessp | |
struct session2_op { u_int32_t cipher; /* e.g. CRYPTO_DES_CBC */ u_int32_t mac; /* e.g. CRYPTO_MD5_HMAC */This request is similar to CIOGSESSION except that sessp->crid requests either a specific crypto device or a class of devices (software vs hardware). The sessp->pad field must be initialized to zero. | |
CIOCCRYPTstruct, crypt_op, *cr_op | |
struct crypt_op { u_int32_t ses; u_int16_t op; /* e.g. COP_ENCRYPT */ u_int16_t flags; u_int len; caddr_t src, dst; caddr_t mac; /* must be large enough for result */ caddr_t iv; };Request a symmetric-key (or hash) operation. To encrypt, set cr_op->op to COP_ENCRYPT. To decrypt, set cr_op->op to COP_DECRYPT. The field cr_op->len supplies the length of the input buffer; the fields cr_op->src, cr_op->dst, cr_op->mac, cr_op->iv supply the addresses of the input buffer, output buffer, one-way hash, and initialization vector, respectively. If a session is using both a privacy algorithm and a hash algorithm, the request will generate a hash of the input buffer before generating the output buffer by default. If the COP_F_CIPHER_FIRST flag is included in the cr_op->flags field, then the request will generate a hash of the output buffer after executing the privacy algorithm. | |
CIOCCRYPTAEADstruct, crypt_aead, *cr_aead | |
struct crypt_aead { u_int32_t ses; u_int16_t op; /* e.g. COP_ENCRYPT */ u_int16_t flags; u_int len; u_int aadlen; u_int ivlen; caddr_t src, dst; caddr_t aad; caddr_t tag; /* must be large enough for result */ caddr_t iv; };The CIOCCRYPTAEAD is similar to the CIOCCRYPT but provides additional data in cr_aead->aad to include in the authentication mode. | |
CIOCFSESSIONu_int32_t, ses_id | |
Destroys the session identified by ses_id. | |
Algorithm | Input parameter | Output parameter |
Count | Count | |
CRK_MOD_EXP | 3 | 1 |
CRK_MOD_EXP_CRT | 6 | 1 |
CRK_DSA_SIGN | 5 | 2 |
CRK_DSA_VERIFY | 7 | 0 |
CRK_DH_COMPUTE_KEY | 3 | 1 |
See below for discussion of the input and output parameter counts.
CIOCASYMFEATint, *feature_mask | |
Returns a bitmask of supported asymmetric-key operations. Each of the above-listed asymmetric operations is present if and only if the bit position numbered by the code for that operation is set. For example, CRK_MOD_EXP is available if and only if the bit (1 << CRK_MOD_EXP) is set. | |
CIOCKEYstruct, crypt_kop, *kop | |
struct crypt_kop { u_int crk_op; /* e.g. CRK_MOD_EXP */ u_int crk_status; /* return status */ u_short crk_iparams; /* # of input params */ u_short crk_oparams; /* # of output params */ u_int crk_pad1; struct crparam crk_param[CRK_MAXPARAM]; };Performs an asymmetric-key operation from the list above. The specific operation is supplied in kop->crk_op; final status for the operation is returned in kop->crk_status. The number of input arguments and the number of output arguments is specified in kop->crk_iparams and kop->crk_iparams, respectively. The field crk_param[] must be filled in with exactly kop->crk_iparams, +, kop->crk_oparams arguments, each encoded as a struct, crparam (address, bitlength) pair. The semantics of these arguments are currently undocumented. | |
The values specified for symmetric-key key sizes to CIOCGSESSION must exactly match the values expected by opencrypto(9). The output buffer and MAC buffers supplied to CIOCCRYPT must follow whether privacy or integrity algorithms were specified for session: if you request a non- NULL algorithm, you must supply a suitably-sized buffer.
The scheme for passing arguments for asymmetric requests is baroque.
CRIOGET should not exist. It should be possible to use the CIOCamp;* commands directly on a /dev/crypto file descriptor.
