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.

Why Post-Quantum Cryptography Doesn’t Replace Classical Cryptography

As quantum computing advances, discussions around the future of cryptography are becoming increasingly common. In many conversations, one message is often heard: in the future, only quantum-safe cryptography will be needed. While quantum computing does introduce real risks to certain cryptographic systems, the reality is more nuanced. Future secure systems will not solely on a single “quantum-safe” algorithm. Instead, they will continue to combine multiple cryptographic technologies.
