Feature configurations and driver support

This section covers the configurations available when using PSA drivers.

Configuring multiple drivers 

Multiple PSA drivers can be enabled at the same time, with added support for fine-grained control of which drivers implement support for cryptographic features.

To enable a PSA driver, set the configurations in the following table:

PSA driver	Configuration option	Notes
nrf_cc3xx	`CONFIG_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVER_CC3XX`	Only on nRF52840, nRF91 Series, and nRF5340 devices
nrf_oberon	`CONFIG_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVER_OBERON`
nrf_cracen	`CONFIG_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVER_CRACEN`	Only on nRF54L Series devices

If multiple drivers are enabled, the first ordered item in this table takes precedence for an enabled cryptographic feature, unless the driver does not enable or support it.

The Arm CryptoCell cc3xx driver allows enabling or disabling of specific PSA APIs (such as psa_cipher_encrypt, psa_sign_hash), but not individual algorithms.

The nrf_oberon driver allows finer configuration granularity, allowing you to enable or disable individual algorithms as well.

When multiple enabled drivers support the same cryptographic feature, the configuration system attempts to include only one implementation to minimize code size.

The PSA drivers using the Arm CryptoCell peripheral is enabled by default for nRF52840, nRF91 Series, and nRF5340 devices.

For devices without a hardware-accelerated cryptographic engine, entropy is provided by the nRF RNG peripheral. PRNG support is provided by the Oberon PSA driver, which is implemented using software.
