Overview
The AES core implements Rijndael cipher encoding and decoding in compliance with the NIST Advanced Encryption Standard. It processes 128-bit data blocks with 128-bit key (a 256-bit key version is available).
Basic core is designed only for encryption and is the smallest available on the market (less than 3,000 gates). Enhanced versions are available that support encryption and decryption for various NIST cipher modes (ECB,CBC, OFB, CFB, CTR), as well as different datapath widths for size/performance tradeoff. The core includes the key expansion logic.
The design is fully synchronous and available in both source and netlist form.
Optional data integrity and differential power attack resistance features.

The cybersecurity threat landscape is dynamic and rapidly evolving. Indeed, attackers are constantly finding new ways to exploit critical vulnerabilities across a wide range of applications and devices. Protecting data and devices requires secure processes running on systems and networks.
The transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has moved from research planning to operational execution. Federal policy, emerging procurement requirements, and evolving security standards are accelerating the adoption of quantum resistant cryptography across government and critical infrastructure systems.
The goal of this white paper is to provide a primer introduction to RoT and how to choose a right RoT as the trust anchor for a novel hardware based security architecture
A Root of Trust is the foundation on which all secure operations of a computing system depend. It contains the keys used for cryptographic functions and enables a system-wide secure boot process. It is inherently trusted and therefore must be secure by design.
