AES-GCM, Extreme-Speed IP Cores for AES256-GCM Authenticated Encryption

XIP1113E is a family of extreme-speed IP cores designed for AES256-GCM (Advanced Encryption Standard with a 256-bit key and Galois Counter Mode) authenticated encryption as defined in the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) standards FIPS PUB 197 and Special Publication 800-38D.

AES-GCM is a widely used cryptographic algorithm for Authenticated Enryption with Associated Data (AEAD) purposes, as it provides both data confidentiality and authenticity.

XIP1113E has been designed for easy integration with FPGA- and ASIC-based designs in a vendor-agnostic design methodology, and the functionality of XIP1113E does not rely on any FPGA manufacturer-specific features.

XIP1113E has also been successfully validated in the CAVP (Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program) by NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology).

• High Security:
  • XIP1113E implements AES256-GCM authenticated encryption as defined in the NIST standards FIPS PUB 197 and Special Publication 800-38D, and offers a security level of 256 bits.
• Extremely High Throughput:
  • XIP1113E offers extremely high throughput for a single stream of data as it processes one 32/64/128-byte block per clock cycle and has a high maximum clock frequency. The IP cores of XIP1113E achieve throughputs of hundreds of Gbps depending on the target FPGA.
• Constant Latency:
  • XIP1113E offers constant latency for every data block and has a deterministic latency that facilitates an easy integration to various systems.
• Secure Design:
  • XIP1113E executes encryption and decryption in constant time (that is, independent of the value of the key), and therefore provides full protection against timing side-channel attacks.

• Fully digital design
• Portable to any ASIC or FPGA technology
• Fully standard compliant
• Easy to integrate
• Several bus interfaces available
• IP core designed in-house at Xiphera
• Technical support by the original designers and cryptographic experts
• CAVP validated

• Authenticated Encryption with Associate Data (AEAD) applications, including MACsec, IPsec, and TLS 1.3

• XIP1113E can be shipped in a number of formats, including netlist, source code, or encrypted source code. Additionally, synthesis scripts, a comprehensive testbench, and a detailed datasheet including an integration guide are included.
