# rte\_security\_ctx(3)

## NAME

rte\_security\_ctx

## SYNOPSIS

`#include <rte_security_driver.h>`

### Data Fields

void \* **device**\
 const struct **rte\_security\_ops** \* **ops**\
 uint32\_t **flags**\
 uint16\_t **sess\_cnt**\
 uint16\_t **macsec\_sc\_cnt**\
 uint16\_t **macsec\_sa\_cnt**\

## Detailed Description

Security context for crypto/eth devices

Security instance for each driver to register security operations. The application can get the security context from the crypto/eth device id using the APIs **rte\_cryptodev\_get\_sec\_ctx()**/rte\_eth\_dev\_get\_sec\_ctx() This structure is used to identify the device(crypto/eth) for which the security operations need to be performed.
