Synopsys High-Performance AES-XTS/ECB IP
With the tremendous data and bandwidth growth in our connected world, security is essential to protect private and sensitive data as it moves across systems to storage, including memory. While the volume and variety of data are growing, so is the need for higher capacity, faster access, and accelerated processing. Designers are turning to high-performance, low-latency memory encryption solutions to preserve performance while protecting data over the latest generations of DDR, LPDDR, GDDR, and HBM memory interfaces.
AES-XTS, or as it is sometimes referred XTS-AES, is the de-facto cryptographic algorithm for protecting the confidentiality of data-at-rest on storage devices. It is a standards-based symmetric algorithm defined by NIST SP800-38E and IEEE Std 1619-2018 specifications. It allows for pipelined architectures that can scale in performance to Terabits per second (Tbps) bandwidth.
Synopsys offers two high-performance configurable AES-XTS IP cores to give customers options to configure and tune the optimal solution for their application. The lower end core is the Synopsys High-Performance AES-XTS/ECB Cryptographic IP with support from 64 bits/cycle to 128 bits/cycle throughput (e.g. up to 128Gbps @ 1GHz; scales linearly with the maximum frequency achievable in a particular process).
The Synopsys High-Performance AES XTS/ECB IP Core is based on a pipelined architecture that allows the performance to scale efficiently to 128Gbps throughput for various data traffic patterns while keeping the latency and area as low as possible even for multiple cryptographic contexts in flight, and to achieve high operating frequencies in advanced process nodes.
In addition to being standards-compliant, Synopsys High-Performance AES-XTS/ECB IP Core supports encryption and decryption for all key sizes, allows for seamless context switching for a high number of contexts, supports efficient keys setup/refresh, and is FIPS 140-3 certification ready.
