The AES Key Wrap Core developed by IP Cores, Inc. implements the NIST-approved AES Key Wrap specification, ensuring secure key exchange and management. Utilizing both 128-bit and 256-bit AES keys for wrapping and unwrapping operations, this core fortifies the security infrastructure for communication and encryption-based applications.
This IP core excels in scenarios requiring compact size without compromising security, starting from less than 8,000 gates and featuring a fully self-contained design that excludes the need for external memory. This, combined with its flow-through architecture, enhances its simplicity in integration and operation.
Available in source code and netlist forms, the core also supports both encryption and decryption-only variants, further offering flexibility to meet varied design needs. Applications include secure key management systems complying with strict security protocols.
