各種虛擬化技術支援AES-NI 狀況

圖片來源：GRT (不管怎樣都要找張圖來就對了~XD)


什麼是Intel AES-NI


Intel® 進階加密指令集 (Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions，Intel® AES-NI) 是Intel在2008年3月提出的在x86 CPU 上的擴充指令集，主要是想透過硬體來幫忙加速AES的加密解密，根據官方說法比起單純用軟體軟體加解密還要快上3~10x倍，下圖是datacenteroverlords的實測結果。






那在虛擬機器上呢？



AES-NI 主要是由特殊的CPU指令集來支援加解密的加速功能，那問題來了那如果Host的CPU有提供AES-NI，那隔了一層Hypervisor在虛擬機上仍然可以享受到到種加速嘛？根據Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions(AES-NI) Ecosystem March 2013 Update  這份文件，答案是肯定的，目前大部分主流的hypervisor 都有支援transparent AES-NI的功能，下圖是列表：




如何得知你的硬體是否有支援？

在Linux 上有兩種方法，最簡單的方法就是，打以下指令：

#grep aes /proc/cpuinfo
flags  : fpu de tsc msr pae cx8 sep cmov pat clflush mmx fxsr sse 
sse2 ss ht syscall nx lm constant_tsc up rep_good nopl nonstop_tsc 
pni pclmulqdq ssse3 cx16 pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt 
tsc_deadline_timer aes avx hypervisor lahf_lm

如果有看到aes就代表你的cpu有支援aes-ni指令集

然後可以透過 openssl 來測試aes-ni的效果，在使用之前要先檢查一下是否支援aes-ni

# openssl engine -c -tt
(dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support
     [ unavailable ]

如果出現這樣的訊息，但是上面的grep 卻是有，那可能代表你的oepnssl 版本太舊了 (aesni is support after openssl 1.0.1)。根據openssl mail list 的討論串裡面提到：

The use of OPENSSL_ia32cap environment variable allows you to alter the CPUID result (only inside OpenSSL), and alter its behaviour. It's not resistant to a reboot, it's only process dependant.

Compare the following results:

  • OPENSSL_ia32cap="~0x200000200000000" openssl speed -elapsed -evp aes-128-cbc
  • openssl speed -elapsed -evp aes-128-cbc

How About Cloud?


其實這研究這個的最終目的就是為了要了解，我是否可以在AWS 或是 GCP上測試Hadoop Encryption with AES-NI 的功能，目前測試結果：


AWS：m1.micro  Yes
GCP：f1.micro  Yes
Azure： 有人要贊助機器嘛?XD

如果把Hadoop 上的資料都加密，每次要作MapReduce 才解開來運算，對於Performacne 一定會有不少的影響，但是有多少？這都需要作實驗....因此下一步就是要來測試加解密的速度和產生Benchmark.....
