The HASH-IP-57 (EIP-57) is IP for accelerating the various secure hash integrity algorithms like MD5 (RFC1231), SHA-1 (FIPS-180-2), SHA-2 (FIPS-180-3/4) and SHA-3 (FIPS-202), supporting the NIST MAC mode up to 6.4 Gbps @ 450MHz. Designed for fast integration, low gate count and full transforms, the HASH-IP-57 accelerators provides a reliable and cost-effective embedded IP solution that is easy to integrate into high-speed crypto pipelines.
The HASH-IP-57 is a family of the cryptographic library elements in the Rambus hardware IP library (formerly of Inside Secure). For example, the HASH-IP-57 is the hash core embedded in the IPsec packet engines as well as VaultIP hardware root of trust cores providing support for MD5 and SHA Hash-based functions. The accelerators include I/O registers, encryption and decryption cores, and the logic for feedback modes and key scheduling.
Sustained performance for any object sizes ranges from 2 to 84 Gbps depending on the configuration and area. Gate counts ranges from 14K to 49K gates depending on the configuration.
