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.

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.
