+.Sh NAME
+.Nm aesni
+.Nd "driver for the AES accelerator on Intel CPUs"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device crypto"
+.Cd "device aesni"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+aesni_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Starting with some models of Core i5/i7, Intel processors implement
+a new set of instructions called AESNI.
+The set of six instructions accelerates the calculation of the key
+schedule for key lengths of 128, 192, and 256 of the Advanced
+Encryption Standard (AES) symmetric cipher, and provides a hardware
+implementation of the regular and the last encryption and decryption
+rounds.
+.Pp
+The processor capability is reported as AESNI in the Features2 line at boot.
+The
+.Nm
+driver does not attach on systems that lack the required CPU capability.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver registers itself to accelerate AES operations for
+.Xr crypto 4 .
+Besides speed, the advantage of using the
+.Nm
+driver is that the AESNI operation
+is data-independent, thus eliminating some attack vectors based on
+measuring cache use and timings typically present in table-driven
+implementations.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver first appeared in
+.Fx 9.0 .
+It was ported to

+by
+.An Alex Hornung .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+.An -nosplit
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by
+.An Konstantin Belousov Aq kib@FreeBSD.org .
+The key schedule calculation code was adopted from the sample provided
+by Intel and used in the analogous
+.Ox
+driver.
