22.Sh NAME
23.Nm glxsb
24.Nd Geode LX Security Block crypto accelerator
25.Sh SYNOPSIS
26.Cd "glxsb* at pci?"
27.Sh DESCRIPTION
28The
29.Nm
30driver supports the security block of the Geode LX series processors.
31The Geode LX is a member of the AMD Geode family
32of integrated x86 system chips.
33.Pp
34Driven by periodic checks for available data from the generator,
35.Nm
36supplies entropy to the
37.Xr random 4
38driver for common usage.
39.Pp
40.Nm
41also supports acceleration of AES-CBC operations for
42.Xr crypto 4 .
43.Sh SEE ALSO
44.Xr crypto 4 ,
45.Xr intro 4 ,
46.Xr pci 4 ,
47.Xr random 4 ,
48.Xr crypto 9
49.Sh HISTORY
50The
51.Nm
52device first appeared in
53.Nx 4.0 .
54.Sh AUTHORS
55The
56.Nm
57driver was written for
58.Ox
59by
60.An Tom Cosgrove .
61It was ported to
62.Nx
63by
64.An Jared D. McNeill Aq jmcneill@NetBSD.org .
65.Sh BUGS
66The
67.Nm
68driver only provides random numbers and AES acceleration.
69Since it does not provide HMACs, IPSec will not currently use it;
70it will however be used by OpenSSH.
