SafeXcel™ IP-48 ZUC Crypto Core Family by AuthenTec

Product Description

SafeXcel-IP-48 ZUC Crypto Core Family

The EIP-48 is an efficient hardware implementation of the ZUC algorithm. Besides the basic ZUC stream cipher, the EIP-48 fully implements the 3GPP Confidentiality and Integrity algorithms 128-EEA3 and 128-EIA3, fully according the latest ETSI/SAGE version 1.6 specifications. The EIP-48 is available in different configurations to target high throughput, high frequency and low gate count.

The EIP-48 is available as high-performance, as well as gate count optimized crypto engine. Possible EIP-48 use cases include:

• 4G mobile communications
• Femtocell handsets and base stations
• eNodeB base stations

Performance and gate count

• Three available configurations: EIP-48b, EIP-48c and EIP-48d. These scale in gate count and throughput.
• The fastest configuration (EIP-48b) has a performance of over 20 Gbps in 40nm technologies.
• The smallest configuration (EIP-48d) fits in 22K gates and achieves a throughput of over 5 Gbps in 65nm technologies or smaller.
