The family of IPX-AES IP-Cores provides an efficient FPGA implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Its flexibility allows the combination of several functions and operating modes for a very small FPGA footprint.
The family of IPX-AES IP-Cores is an encryptor / decryptor core range that efficiently implements in FPGA the Advanced Encryption Standard as specified in the Federal Information Processing publication FIPS-197 of the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The IPX-AES module can be customized to ensure its optimization for a wide range of specific application fields with a design architecture that can be adapted to support from low up to very high bit-rates. Its flexibility allows combining several functions and operating modes on very small footprints.
AES 128/256 Encryption - Symmetric Security Range
Overview
Key Features
- Functions
- With addressing keys of 128 (or 256), the IPX-AES cores execute decryption or encryption.
- Data-stream handling
- The IPX-AES cores can handle the data and secret keys in two different ways. The single stream option consists of a core capable of managing data with a single key, before a new update of this key. The multiple stream option is a feature capable of managing multiple ciphering processes together, each based on a different secret key.
- Chaining modes
- The inter-data-block chaining supports all existing modes that can be used separately or combined into a single design: ECB (Electronic Code-Book), CBC (Cipher Block Chaining), CTR (Counter). Other modes could be supported.
- Data busses
- The incoming, outgoing and key data are handled on either common or separate buses. Data bus width is 128 bits wide.
- Clock
- The processes use a single clock and can be reset asynchronously.
Benefits
- Multiple stream management
- Renewable security
- FIPS compliant
- High bitrate (3G/10G/40G/100G versions)
