The .Pa /dev/crypto device node primarily operates in an .Xr ioctl 2 based model, permitting a variety of applications to query device capabilities, submit transactions, and get results. .Pp If .Ar count is given in the specification, and is greater than 0, a maximum of one .Nm crypto device is created. .Pp The following .Xr ioctl 2 calls apply only to the .Nm crypto devices: .Bl -tag -width CIOCGSESSION .It Dv CIOCGSESSION Set up a new crypto session for a new type of operation. .It Dv CIOCFSESSION Free a previously established session. .It Dv CIOCCRYPT Perform a crypto operation against a previously set up session. .El .Sh FEATURES Depending on hardware being present, the following symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic features are potentially available from .Pa /dev/crypto : .Pp .Bl -tag -compact -width CRYPTO_RIPEMD160_HMAC -offset indent .It CRYPTO_DES_CBC .It CRYPTO_3DES_CBC .It CRYPTO_BLF_CBC .It CRYPTO_CAST_CBC .It CRYPTO_SKIPJACK_CBC .It CRYPTO_MD5_HMAC .It CRYPTO_SHA1_HMAC .It CRYPTO_RIPEMD160_HMAC .It CRYPTO_MD5_KPDK .It CRYPTO_SHA1_KPDK .It CRYPTO_AES_CBC .It CRYPTO_AES_CTR .It CRYPTO_AES_XTS .It CRYPTO_ARC4 .It CRYPTO_MD5 .It CRYPTO_SHA1 .It CRK_MOD_EXP .It CRK_MOD_EXP_CRT .It CRK_DSA_SIGN .It CRK_DSA_VERIFY .It CRK_DH_COMPUTE_KEY .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /dev/crypto -compact .It Pa /dev/crypto crypto access device .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr hifn 4 , .Xr lofn 4 , .Xr noct 4 , .Xr nofn 4 , .Xr safe 4 , .Xr ubsec 4 , .Xr crypto 9 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm driver appeared in .Ox 3.0 .
