+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

+
+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.

+Intel(R) Multi-Buffer Crypto for IPsec Library depends on C library and
+it is recommended to use its latest version.
+
+Applications using the Intel(R) Multi-Buffer Crypto for IPsec Library rely on
+Operating System to provide process isolation.
+As the result, it is recommended to use latest Operating System patches and
+security updates.

+6. Security Considerations & Options for Increased Security
+===========================================================
+
+Security Considerations
+-----------------------
+The security of a system that uses cryptography depends on the strength of
+the cryptographic algorithms as well as the strength of the keys.
+Cryptographic key strength is dependent on several factors, with some of the
+most important factors including the length of the key, the entropy of the key
+bits, and maintaining the secrecy of the key.
+
+The selection of an appropriate algorithm and mode of operation critically
+affects the security of a system. Appropriate selection criteria is beyond the
+scope of this document and should be determined based upon usage, appropriate
+standards and consultation with a cryptographic expert. This library includes some
+algorithms, which are considered cryptographically weak and are included only
+for legacy and interoperability reasons. See the "Recommendations" section for
+more details.
+
+Secure creation of key material is not a part of this library. This library
+assumes that cryptographic keys have been created using approved methods with
+an appropriate and secure entropy source. Users of this library are
+referred to NIST SP800-133 Revision 1, Recommendation for Cryptographic Key
+Generation, found at https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-133r1.pdf
+
+Even with the use of strong cryptographic algorithms and robustly generated
+keys, software implementations of cryptographic algorithms may be attacked
+at the implementation through cache-timing attacks, buffer-over-reads, and
+other software vulnerabilities. Counter-measures against these types of
+attacks are possible but require additional processing cycles. Whether a
+particular system should provide such counter-measures depends on the threats
+to that system, and cannot be determined by a general library such as this
+one. In order to provide the most flexible implementation, this library allows
+certain counter-measures to be enabled or disabled at compile time. These
+options are listed below as the "Options for Increased Security" and are
+enabled through various build flags.
+
+Options for Increased Security
+------------------------------
+There are three build options that can be enabled to increase safety in the
+code and help protect external functions from incorrect input data.
+SAFE_DATA and SAFE_PARAM options are disabled by default, due to
+the potential performance impact associated to the extra code added.
+SAFE_LOOKUP option is enabled by default, and can be disabled
+by setting the parameter equal to "n" (e.g. make SAFE_LOOKUP=n).
+
+These options (explained below) can be enabled when building the library,
+by setting the parameter equal to "y" (e.g. make SAFE_DATA=y).
+No specific code has been added, and no specific validation or security
+tests have been performed to help protect against or check for side-channel
+attacks.
+
+SAFE_DATA
+---------
+
+Stack and registers containing sensitive information, such as keys or IVs,
+are cleared upon completion of a function call.
+
+SAFE_PARAM
+----------
+
+Input parameters are checked, looking generally for NULL pointers
+or an incorrect input length.
+
+SAFE_LOOKUP
+-----------
+
+Lookups which depend on sensitive information are implemented with
+constant time functions.
+Algorithms where these constant time functions are used are the following:
+
+- AESNI emulation
+- DES: SSE, AVX and AVX2 implementations
+- KASUMI: all architectures
+- SNOW3G: all architectures
+- ZUC: all architectures
+
+If SAFE_LOOKUP is not enabled in the build (e.g. make SAFE_LOOKUP=n) then the
+algorithms listed above may be susceptible to timing attacks which could expose
+the cryptographic key.
