doca-sha-offload-engine
doca-sha-offload-engine is an agent skill published by nvidia, listed under deploy & operate. It lives in the NVIDIA/skills repository, which has 3,735 GitHub stars and is licensed under Apache-2.0; we last read it on 2026-10-23.
This tool integrates the DOCA SHA Offload Engine with an existing OpenSSL pipeline to offload SHA-1, SHA-256, or SHA-512 operations to DOCA SHA hardware. No specific credentials are required.
Install
skills is a generic installer for any repository of Claude agent skills -- it reads NVIDIA/skills’s own structure rather than assuming one, the same way this page reads the skill’s own SKILL.md rather than assuming a format.

Maintenance
Use this skill when wiring the DOCA SHA Offload Engine (an OpenSSL ENGINE) into an existing OpenSSL pipeline to offload one-shot SHA-1, SHA-256, or SHA-512 (EVP_Digest) onto DOCA SHA hardware without rewriting against doca-sha. Covers engine load mechanics (`openssl engine dynamic`, `set_pci_addr` ctrl, `-engine_impl`), the SHA-224 negative test that proves offload engaged, the message-size window where offload beats CPU SHA, and engine-vs-library selection. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA SHA Offload Engine" or "OpenSSL ENGINE" — typical implicit phrasings: "speed up openssl SHA on BlueField", "offload SHA without code changes", "is openssl using the accelerator or falling back to software", "prove DOCA SHA actually ran", "openssl dgst hashed but I'm not sure it was offloaded". Refuse and route elsewhere for new SHA pipelines (use doca-sha), MD5 / SHA-3 / SHA-224 / HMAC-SHA offload, incremental hashing via chained `EVP_DigestUpdate`, or OpenSSL PROVIDER authoring.
