CLP-200: Pipelined GCM-AES Core by Elliptic Technologies Inc.

SoC IP Provider

Product Description

The CLP-200: Pipelined GCM-AES core implements the GCM-AES algorithm as specified in NIST Special Publication 800-38D “Recommendation for Block Cipher Modes of Operation: Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) and GMAC”. For high performance cryptographic systems, AES-GCM is the algorithm of choice. It uses a high performance MAC algorithm based on Galois Field multiplication and CTR mode encryption which can be pipelined for high throughput operations.

The CLP-200 has several configuration options which allow the performance of the resulting core to be tailored to the system performance requirements. The key configuration options include:

• The number of AES cores instantiated which determines the core bandwidth
• The number of key expanders
• The number of key contexts
• Key size options – 128-, 192- and/or 256-bits
• Ingress/egress FIFO depths

The Pipelined GCM-AES Core also integrates seamlessly in ARM-based SOCs and enables designers to efficiently balance: power, performance, and silicon area.
