This driver supports the Deimos Crypto Acclerator also known as the SCA-1000. Sun no longer sells this card due to RoHS requirements. Any card that uses the Broadcom 5820, 5821, 5822, and 5825 should work with this driver. The SCA-1000 is a 5821.

n2rng

Provider for random numbers that works with the Niagara 2 chip.

ncp

The Niagara Crypto Provider allows hardware acceleration from the integrated MAU unit of the Niagara 1 & 2 chips. This provides acceleration for RSA operations.

n2cp

The Niagara Crypto Provider allows acceleration from the integrated CWQ unit of the Niagara 2 chips. THis provides acceleration for AES, SHA1, ArcFour, and other operations.
