UltraSPARC T2 Hardware Cryptographic Accelerators

In Lawrence Spracklen's blog, find out more information on the three drivers that can be used to access the UltraSPARC T2 hardware cryptographic features. The drivers are:

• ncp: similar to the UltraSPARC T1; handles RSA, DSA, DH and ECC

• n2cp: handles bulk ciphers and hashes
• n2rng: access to the HW random number generator

For more detailed information on the UltraSPARC T2 cryptographic accelerators, see the PDF UltraSPARC T2 Supplement to the UltraSPARC Architecture 2007.
