CLP-41: Snow 3G Flow Through Core by Elliptic Technologies Inc.

SoC IP Provider

Product Description

Elliptic’s CLP-41 core implements the SNOW 3G stream cipher that forms the heart of the 3GPP confidentiality algorithm and integrity algorithms. The Release 7 standard is governed by a European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) document - SNOW 3G Algorithm Specification Version 1.1 and these algorithms are known as UEA2 (encryption) and UIA2 (integrity). Releases 8, 9, 10 refer to these algorithms as 128-EEA1 and 128-EIA1. The differences between these releases and Release 7 do not affect the hardware core. The CLP-41 implements a flow-through or in-line version of the core although the core can also be provided as a look-aside engine. The security core is silicon proven and shipped in millions of units as a standalone core, or as a component of Elliptic’s security protocol accelerators and processors.

The CLP-41 also integrates seamlessly in ARM-based SOCs and enables designers to efficiently balance: power, performance, and silicon area.
