Overview

Implementation of the new WLAN security standard (802.16e) requires the NIST standard AES cipher in CTR and CBC modes (a.k.a. CCM) for encryption and message authentication. The CCM6 AES core is tuned for 802.16e applications. The core contains the base AES core AES1 and is available for immediate licensing.

The design is fully synchronous and available in both source and netlist form.

Key features

  • Small size: from 8,900 ASIC gates at 802.16 data speeds
  • Completely self-contained: does not require external memory
  • Includes encryption, decryption, key expansion and data interface
  • Support for Counter Mode Encryption (CTR) operation and CCM extensions (Counter Mode with CBC MAC)
  • Support for CMAC and MBS-CTR modes
  • Flow-through design with header parsing
  • Test bench provided
