Software Requirements

qat_hw Requirements

Successful operation of QAT Hardware acceleration requires a software tool chain that supports OpenSSL* 1.1.1 or OpenSSL* 1.1.0 and Intel® QuickAssist Technology Driver for Linux or Intel® QuickAssist Technology Driver for FreeBSD. This release was validated on the following:

  • Operating system: CentOS* 7.4 64-bit version & FreeBSD* 11.3 64-bit version
  • Kernel: GNU*/Linux* 3.10.0-693
  • Intel® Communications Chipset C62X Series Software for Linux*, version 4.13
  • Intel® Communications Chipset C62X Series Software for FreeBSD*, version 3.8
  • OpenSSL* 1.1.1j

qat_sw Requirements

Successful operation of the Intel® QAT Software acceleration requires a software tool chain that supports OpenSSL* 1.1.1 and Intel® Crypto Multi-buffer library(for Asymmetric PKE) cloned from the ipp-crypto repo. The crypto_mb library needs to be installed using the instructions from the Crypto Multi-buffer Library Readme.

For QAT SW AES-GCM acceleration, prequisite is to have Intel® Multi-Buffer crypto for IPsec Library cloned from the intel-ipsec-mb repo and installed using the instructions from the intel-ipsec-mb README. The Intel® QAT Engine supports QAT SW AES-GCM from OpenSSL* 1.1.1d.

This release was validated on the following:

  • Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
  • Kernel: 5.4.0-62-generic
  • Intel® Crypto Multi-buffer library from the ipp-crypto release version IPP Crypto 2020 Update 3
  • Intel® Multi-Buffer crypto for IPsec Library release version v0.55
  • OpenSSL* 1.1.1j
