AES-GCM, Advanced Encryption Standard (256-bit key), Galois Counter Mode IP Core

Overview

XIP1113H from Xiphera is a high-throughput Intellectual Property (IP) core implementing the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in Galois Counter Mode (GCM). AES-GCM is a widely used cryptographic algorithm for Authenticated Enryption with Associated Data (AEAD) purposes, as it provides both data confidentiality and authenticity.

XIP1113H has been designed for easy integration with FPGA- and ASIC-based designs in a vendor-agnostic design methodology, and the functionality of XIP1113H does not rely on any FPGA manufacturer-specific features.

XIP1113H has also been successfully validated in the CAVP (Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program) by NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology).

Key Features

Moderate resource requirements: The entire XIP1111H requires approximately 21700 Adaptive Lookup Modules (ALMs) (Intel ® Cyclone ® V), and does not require any multipliers, DSPBlocks or internal memory in a typical FPGA implementation. Contact sales@xiphera.com for ASIC resource requirements.
Optimized Implementation utilizing unrolling, pipelining, optimized AES S-box design, and GMAC calculation based on pipelined Karatsuba multipliers enable extremely high performance.
Performance: XIP1113H achieves a throughput in the tens of Gbps range, for example 65+ Gbps in Xilinx ® UltraScale+ MPSoC.
Standard Compliance: XIP1113H is fully compliant with both the Advanced Encryption Algorithm (AES) standard, as well as with the Galois Counter Mode (GCM) standard.
Test Vector Compliance: XIP1113H passes all test vectors specified in MACsec GCM-AES Test Vectors.
