Administering the Cryptographic Framework (Task Map)

The following task map points to procedures for administering software and hardware providers in the Oracle Solaris Cryptographic Framework.

Task
Description
For Instructions
List the providers in the Oracle Solaris Cryptographic Framework
Lists the algorithms, libraries, and hardware devices that are available for use in the Oracle Solaris Cryptographic Framework.
Add a software provider
Adds a PKCS #11 library or a kernel module to the Oracle Solaris Cryptographic Framework. The provider must be signed.
Prevent the use of a user-level mechanism
Removes a software mechanism from use. The mechanism can be enabled again.
Temporarily disable mechanisms from a kernel module
Temporarily removes a mechanism from use. Usually used for testing.
Uninstall a provider
Removes a kernel software provider from use.
List available hardware providers
Shows the attached hardware, shows the mechanisms that the hardware provides, and shows which mechanisms are enabled for use.
Disable mechanisms from a hardware provider
Ensures that selected mechanisms on a hardware accelerator are not used.
Restart or refresh cryptographic services
Ensures that cryptographic services are available.
