NAME
glxsb
- Geode LX Security Block crypto accelerator
SYNOPSIS
glxsb* at pci?
DESCRIPTION
The
glxsb
driver supports the security block of the Geode LX series processors.
The Geode LX is a member of the AMD Geode family
of integrated x86 system chips.
Driven by periodic checks for available data from the generator,
glxsb
supplies entropy to the
random(4)
driver for common usage.
glxsb
also supports acceleration of AES-CBC operations for
crypto(4).

BUGS
The
glxsb
driver only provides random numbers and AES acceleration.
Since it does not provide HMACs, IPSec will not currently use it;
it will however be used by OpenSSH.
