Overview
========
Intel Multi-Buffer Crypto for IPsec Library is highly-optimized
software implementations of the core cryptographic processing for IPsec,
which provides industry-leading performance on a range of Intel(R) Processors.
For information on how to build and use this library, see the
Intel White Paper:
"Fast Multi-buffer IPsec Implementations on Intel Architecture Processors".
Jim Guilford, Sean Gulley, et. al.
The easiest way to find it is to search the Internet for the title and
Intel White Paper.
Table 1. List of supported cipher algorithms and their implementations.
+------------------------------------------------------------+
| | Implementation |
| Encryption +--------------------------------------------|
| | x86_64 | SSE | AVX | AVX2 | AVX512 |
|---------------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------|
| AES128-GCM | N | Y by8 | Y by8 | Y by8 | N |
| AES192-GCM | N | Y by8 | Y by8 | Y by8 | N |
| AES256-GCM | N | Y by8 | Y by8 | Y by8 | N |
| AES128-CCM | Y(1) | Y by4 | Y by8 | N | N |
| AES128-CBC | N | Y(2) | Y(4) | N | N |
| AES192-CBC | N | Y(2) | Y(4) | N | N |
| AES256-CBC | N | Y(2) | Y(4) | N | N |
| AES128-CTR | N | Y by4 | Y by8 | N | N |
| AES192-CTR | N | Y by4 | Y by8 | N | N |
| AES256-CTR | N | Y by4 | Y by8 | N | N |
| NULL | Y | N | N | N | N |
| AES128-DOCSIS | N | Y(3) | Y(5) | N | N |
| DES-DOCSIS | Y | N | N | N | Y x16 |
| 3DES | Y | N | N | N | Y x16 |
| DES | Y | N | N | N | Y x16 |
+------------------------------------------------------------+
Notes:
(1) - AES128-CCM scheduler code is implemented in C at the moment.
Underlaying AES128-CTR algorithm utlizes SSE and AVX.
(2,3) - decryption is by4 and encryption is x4
(4,5) - decryption is by8 and encryption is x8
Legend:
byY - single buffer Y blocks at a time
xY - Y buffers at a time
As an example of how to read table 1 and 2, if one uses AVX512 interface
to perform AES128-CBC encryption then there is no native AVX512
implementation for this cipher. In such case, the library uses best
available implementation which is AVX for AES128-CBC.
Table 2. List of supported integrity algorithms and their implementations.
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| | Implementation |

| AES128-CMAC-96 | Y(3) | Y x4 | Y x8 | N | N |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
Notes:
(1) - MD5 over one block implemented in C
(2,3) - AES128-CCM and AES128-CMAC scheduler code is implemented in C.
Underlaying AES128-CBC algorithm utlizes SSE and AVX.
(4) - Implementation using SHANI extentions is x2

xY - Y buffers at a time
