Overview
The (Advanced Encryption Standard) AES Core IP from Lokawiz is a wishbone compliant 128-bit AES engine. It has customization options to have multiple configurations, as a wishbone master and slave or a pipeline stage from master to slave. In addition, the core is also optimized for area.
Features of AES Core
- NIST compliant, Rijndael encryption and decryption
- Implements key expansion internally
- Fully synchronous implementation
- Very little area requirement for modern FPGAs
- Wishbone compliant, in multiple configurations
- 128-bit data block and key length AES implementation
- Customization for CBC, OFB, and CTR modes available
Special Feature
- Lesser area requirement than competing cores
- Supports multiple wishbone configurations
- FIFO based, allowing for multiple widths of Wishbone bus
- Customizable FIFO implementations for various FPGA technologies
AES Core Deliverable
The Verilog RTL and standalone simulation test-bench. This is also deliverable as a custom IP to fit into existing system to get instant security.
Target Applications and Platforms
- Applications requiring advanced security for data communication
- Secure data routing
- Secure video surveillance systems
- On-the-fly encryption and decryption of data
- Crypto processors
Why you need this
You are interested in adding security to existing FPGA applications in a modular way especially if you already have a system based on a wishbone bus architecture. Furthermore, this is very useful to you if you also have need for customized secure communications to be added on top of an existing solution.
