Using asynchonous block cipher for CCMP

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello!

I'm looking for ways to accelerate CCMP on Intel IXP425.

drivers/crypto/ixp4xx_crypto.c implements only asynchronous block
ciphers, and the reason appears to be that the crypto processor uses DMA
and interrupts to communicate with the CPU, which would make synchronous
encryption ineffective.

It turns out that mac80211 uses plain AES for CCMP.  However, it uses an
asynchronous block cipher "ecb(arc4)" for WEP and TKIP.

I'd like to make CCMP use an asynchronous block cipher.  Has anyone
attempted that?  Are there any issues I should be aware of?
