6 6 n2rng - Ultra-SPARC T2 random number generator device driver
7 7
8 8 DESCRIPTION
9 9 The n2rng device driver is a multi-threaded, loadable hardware driver
10 - supporting hardware assisted random numbers. This support is built into
11 - the Ultra-SPARC T2 CMT processor.

11 + into the Ultra-SPARC T2 and later processors.

13 13
14 14 The n2rng driver requires the presence of the Solaris Cryptographic
15 15 Framework to enable applications and kernel clients to access the
16 16 provided services.

18 18 CONFIGURATION
19 19 You configure the n2rng driver by defining properties in
20 - /platform/sun4v/kernel/drv/n2cp.conf which override the default
20 + /platform/sun4v/kernel/drv/n2rng.conf which override the default
21 21 settings. The following property is supported:

23 23 nostats
24 - Disables the generation of statistics. The
24 + Disables the generation of statistics. The
25 25 nostats property may be used to help
26 26 prevent traffic analysis, however, this may
27 27 inhibit support personnel.

30 30 CRYPTO STATISTICS
31 - Solaris crypto drivers must implement statistics variables. Statistics
32 - are reported by n2rng using the kstat(7D) and kstat(9S) mechanisms.
33 - The n2rng driver maintains the following statistics:

48 48 KERNEL STATISTICS
49 - The n2rng driver tallies a set of kernel driver statistics when in
50 - the Control domain. Statistics are reported by n2rng using the
51 - kstat(7D) and kstat(9S) mechanisms. All statistics are maintained as
52 - unsigned, and all are 64 bits.
