Linux Cryptographic Acceleration on an i.MX6 - Sean Hudson, Mentor Graphics, Inc

Linux Cryptographic Acceleration on an i.MX6 - Sean Hudson, Mentor Graphics, Inc The recent hack of internet connected cameras highlights the need to secure IoT devices. This effort will require robust encryption. Luckily, some SoC devices provide cryptographic accelerators that can help. This talk examines the process of enabling the cryptographic accelerator on the i.MX6, called the CAAM. During the talk, I will discuss ways to connect userspace to the CAAM. Further, I will talk about the relative performance of the different approaches. About Sean Hudson I am an embedded Linux architect at Mentor Graphics. I have worked on embedded devices since 1996 and with embedded Linux since 2006. Most notably, I have been involved with the Yocto Project since it's public announcement in 2010, have served on the YP Advisory Board for two different companies, and am currently a member of the OpenEmbedded Board. I am also part of the devicetree.org Technical Steering Committee.
