9 ncp \- UltraSPARC T1 server crypto provider device driver
13 The \fBncp\fR device driver is a multi-threaded, loadable hardware driver
14 supporting hardware assisted acceleration of RSA and DSA cryptographic
15 operations. This support is built into the UltraSPARC T1 processor.
18 The \fBncp\fR driver requires the presence of the \fISolaris Cryptographic
19 Framework\fR to enable applications and kernel clients to access the provided
24 You configure the \fBncp\fR driver by defining properties in
25 \fB/platform/sun4v/kernel/drv/ncp.conf\fR which override the default settings.
26 The following property is supported:
33 Disables the generation of statistics. The \fBnostats\fR property may be used
34 to help prevent traffic analysis, but this may inhibit support personnel.
37 .SH NETWORK STATISTICS
40 Solaris network drivers must implement statistics variables. The \fBncp\fR
41 driver maintains the following statistics:
48 Number of times the queue for MAU X was found full when attempting to submit
55 \fBmauXupdate_failure\fR
58 Number of submit job failures on MAU X.
67 Number of jobs submitted to MAU X since driver load (boot).
76 Total number of jobs submitted to the device for RSA public key operations.
85 Total number of jobs submitted to the device for RSA private key operations.
94 Total number of jobs submitted to the device for DSA signing.
103 Total number of jobs submitted to the device for DSA verification.
108 Additional statistics may be supplied for Sun support personnel, but are not
109 useful to Solaris users and are not doc- umented in this manpage.
