modulename: aesni-intel.ko
configname: CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_NI_INTEL
Linux Kernel Configuration
└─>Accelerated Cryptographic Algorithms for CPU (x86)
└─>Ciphers: AES, modes: ECB, CBC, CTS, CTR, XCTR, XTS, GCM (AES-NI/VAES)
In linux kernel since version 2.6.30 (release Date: 2009-06-09)
Block cipher: AES cipher algorithms
AEAD cipher: AES with GCM
Length-preserving ciphers: AES with ECB, CBC, CTS, CTR, XCTR, XTS
Architecture: x86 (32-bit and 64-bit) using:
- AES-NI (AES new instructions)
- VAES (Vector AES)
Some algorithm implementations are supported only in 64-bit builds,
and some have additional prerequisites such as AVX2 or AVX512.
