NAME

6       kcfd - kernel-level cryptographic framework daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       kcfd
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The kcfd daemon helps in managing CPU usage by cryptographic operations
14       performed in software by kernel threads. The system utilization associ‐
15       ated  with  these  threads is charged to the kcfd process. It also does
16       module verification for kernel cryptographic modules.
17
18
19       Only a privileged user can run this daemon.
20
21
22       The kcfd daemon is automatically invoked in run level 1, after /usr  is
23       mounted. A previously invoked kcfd daemon that is still running must be
24       stopped before invoking another kcfd command.
25
26
27       Manually starting and restarting kcfd is not recommended. If it is nec‐
28       essary to do so, use the cryptoadm(1M) start and stop subcommands.
