Installing the KAE Encryption and Decryption Feature

Purpose

With the Tomcat Native Library utilized, the KAE encryption and decryption technology can also be used to significantly accelerate the SSL/TLS handshake process. This technology is especially applicable to the scenario where the Tomcat server is configured with the HTTPS protocol and mainly processes short connection requests.

Procedure

1. Install the KAE encryption and decryption module.

   The KAE source package contains KAEzip and the encryption and decryption module. You can either install all KAE modules through one-click installation or install the KAE encryption and decryption module separately. For details, see Kunpeng Accelerator Engine User Guide. Complete pre-installation preparations (setting up the installation environment and obtaining the KAE license), and then proceed with the installation of KAE encryption and decryption module.

2. Optional: Uninstall unnecessary modules in the KAE encryption and decryption module.

   1	modprobe -r hisi_sec2

3. Compile and install the BiSheng JDK that supports KAE encryption and decryption.

   For details, see Compiling and Installing the BiSheng JDK.

4. Enable KAE encryption and decryption.

   For details, see Enabling KAE Encryption and Decryption.
