The AES IP Core by IP Cores, Inc. offers a sophisticated implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) suitable for environments requiring secure data encryption and decryption. This ultra-compact core is compliant with NIST's AES standard and is suitable for applications needing high security. It processes 128-bit or 256-bit data blocks and supports various encryption modes such as ECB, CBC, CFB, OFB, and CTR, making it versatile for different cryptographic needs.
Designed for both ASIC and FPGA platforms, this IP core is fully synchronous and available in source and netlist form for ease of integration. Notably, the core offers features like key expansion and supports data integrity protection and differential power analysis resistance, enhancing its security robustness. For efficient operation, it is available in various configurations with optional features like data masking to protect against side-channel attacks.
The core is designed to support high throughput performance and is synthesized to achieve clock speeds exceeding 800 MHz, delivering up to 10 Gbps data throughput. This makes it an apt choice for applications in high-speed communication networks, secure data storage, and digital rights management systems.
