doca-aes-gcm SKILL.md skillA
doca-aes-gcm from nvidia/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add nvidia/skills/doca-aes-gcm@git:20261028.3d06e7ePins git:20261028.3d06e7e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA AES-GCM work on a BlueField DPU or ConnectX NIC — configuring `doca_aes_gcm_task_encrypt` / `_task_decrypt`, querying `doca_aes_gcm_cap_*` for per-key-type (only `DOCA_AES_GCM_KEY_128` / `_256` — AES-192 not supported) and per-task support, sizing plaintext against the max-buf cap, setting source / destination mmap permissions, validating with a NIST GCMVS or RFC 5288 vector, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* including the security-critical…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# DOCA AES-GCM ## Examples - **"Auth tag isn't verifying on decrypt."** — this is in scope. Treat tag-verification-failed as a security outcome, not a retryable size error. - **"Is AES-192-GCM on this BlueField?"** — no. Only key-128 and key-256 exist; do not invent AES-192 or CBC/CTR offload. ## Instructions Follow Loading order below. Open the tasks companion for configure / test / debug. Open the capabilities companion for key types and the AEAD safety note. Do not open every companion file. **Where to start:** This skill assumes DOCA is already installed and the user is doing **hands-on AES-GCM-acceleration work** on a BlueField / ConnectX / host with DOCA. Open the tasks companion if the user wants to *do* something (configure / build / modify / run / test / debug); open the capabilities companion when the question is *what can DOCA AES-GCM express* on this version. If the user has not installed DOCA yet, route to `doca-setup/SKILL.md` first. If the user is asking *"should I even use the accelerator for this encryption?"*, the path-selection rule in ## Capabilities and modes is the first stop. If the user is treating AES-GCM as a confidentiality-only …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/doca-aes-gcm@sha256:5fa93b7701db58c0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.3d06e7e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
