IP Cores, Inc.
Category:
Symmetric Crypto
SNOW 3G Encryption Core
The SNOW3G1 core implements SNOW 3G stream cipher in compliance with the ETSI SAGE specification version 1.1.
Overview
The SNOW3G1 core implements SNOW 3G stream cipher in compliance with the ETSI SAGE specification version 1.1. It produces the keystream that consists of 32-bit blocks using 128-bit key and IV.
Basic core is very small (7,500 gates). Enhanced versions are available that support UEA2 and UIA2 confidentiality an integrity algorithms.
The design is fully synchronous and available in both source and netlist form. Test bench includes the ETSI/SAGE SNOW 3G test vectors.
SNOW3G1 core is supplied as portable Verilog (VHDL version available) thus allowing customers to carry out an internal code review to ensure its security.
