Overview
Implementation of the new Chinese security standard (WAPI) requires running the SMS4 cipher in the WPI mode for encryption and message authentication. The WPI1 core is tuned for WAPI applications and as such requires much smaller gate count than a full implementation.
The design is fully synchronous and available in both source and netlist form.
The design is fully synchronous and available in both source and netlist form.
